FreeBSD feels more difficult to use in this sense even compared to Net/OpenBSD. While some of this configuring is strictly unnecessary (changing the keyboard layout in xorg.conf is only relevant if you aren't using a DE with that functionality), FreeBSD seems more ... finicky with GPU drivers and their DRM/KMS compat layer from Linux than Net/Open.
On NetBSD you can usually just "starts" and get an accelerated X session with no config, from just a "full sets" install. You usually have to install at least some extra kernel modules in FreeBSD.
