I don't use tcsh.  (^&

XFree86 -configure should do a good job.  Back when 4.0 was just out (and
NetBSD's pkgsrc didn't have any support for it yet, causing various
wrinkles with all of the libraries XFree86 had incorporated), I recall
that autoconfiguration "just worked"---except that they screwed up the
mouse interface.  (Easily fixed.)  Now (same monitor; different system
otherwise I think) XFree86's autocnfiguration completely drops the ball on
the monitor configuration.  That's disappointing, but still not too much
trouble to work around.
