Fellow FreeBSDers,

I originally sent this to FreeBSD-X11, but this may be a more appropriate venue.

I have recently installed FreeBSD 6.1 on a Pentium III box, using an NVidia
GeForce 2 GTS card and a CTX PL9 monitor. Running "X -configure" as root generates the file xorg.conf.new, and then running "X -config xorg.conf.new",
pulls up a generic X screen with a resolution of 1600x1200.  I go in and modify
the xorg.conf.new file to make the default resolution 1280x1024, and rerun
"X -config xorg.conf.new", but the resolution is still 1600x1200.  This is a
wonderful resolution, but it makes everything rather small, and the icons are
difficult to see.  I am obviously setting something wrong, but I do not know 
what
it is.  Might anyone have any suggestions.  I really would rather have the
resolution be 1280x1024.  Thanks for your help!

The following is the file xorg.conf.new:


...
...

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Try this

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
