Thanks Craig, I'll change the config file are suggested, but what about the
rest of the file. But how do I set it up to use this Monitor and not the
UPA one that (I assume) it's currently attempting to use.

In my original post I said that I'd tried the configs as listed on the
FreeBSD site, which is in fact incorrect. What I should have said was that
I'd tried the config suggestions as listed in the /usr/X11R6/README as
suggested on the site.

The XF86Config I originally provided was based on the README for OpenBSD, so
I see no real reason (apart from my stupidity factor) as to why they won't
work.

Can anyone tell me where the log file for a crash is written to? So I can
double check that I'm looking in the right place.
