It's the attitude one develops after 7+ year dealing with the "crap" that 
is XFree86 and the additional level of neglect resulting from running it 
on *BSD.

XFree86 configs never "just works" as you expect; often a great many hours 
are waisted getting video modes to work properly with non-standard 
framebuffer/monitor combinations.

XFree86 is a 14 year old project and nothing has changed in that time in 
terms of ease of initial setup.

I'm just saying you should be happy that you got it working.  I spent 
weeks trying to get DVI support working with the ADC->DVI adapters on my 
Apple Cinema Displays.

Don't kill the messenger.
