BSD 4.6, X, and Savage IX w/MV woes

I'm trying to get my Toshiba 2755 laptop running with 
FreeBSD 4.6.  Sadly, I bought this machine before I 
was thinking about running FreeBSD on a laptop.  

In any case, I can't find any drivers that get the 
Savage IX w/MV working with X.  I've tried all the 
reasonable sounding drivers that were included, and so 
far all I get is a message that tells me something like, 
"it seems the x-setup failed, would you like to try 
again".

A check with (sorry) RedHat 7.3 on the machine shows 
it thinks the video card is a S3 86C270-294 IX-MV (rev 
11), in case that helps.  (Red Hat chokes on the Cisco 
PCM340 Card in the laptop.  There is no joy in mudville.  
While I'd rather have FreeBSD working on the machine, 
my main goal is to get Microsoft OFF the machine.)

I'd appreciate any pointers, tips, or answers you can 
share.  I've been rt'ing the fm, and cursing google until 
my eyes cross.... so far, no joy.  

Thanks,
Mike
