There is some support for automatic configuration, which may work or not
for you. Try X -configure, as root, it should dump an XF86Config.new in
your home directory.

Sort of. We're trying to make X -configure more useful.
( and these days it should at least write a useful keyboard config, at
least in -current )

This is odd - /dev/wskbd is the keyboard mux, wskbd0 and so on refer to
individual keyboards - wskbd and wskbd0-3 should exist. If you have only
one it shouldn't make a difference.

It returns to the console, but for some reason X fails to change the
video mode back properly. This is a known problem with many Radeon-based
cards and probably others but so far nobody seems to have found out
what exactly is going wrong.

have fun
