Hello,
     Sorry if this should be a walk in the park for some, but after
reading about all the warnings, I thought I'd better ask before "trying
to sort this" without more info.

I've got a new monitor (Sun 21" FD Premium) and attached it to my
FreeBSD box. It works fine enough, but my display is currently set to
1024 * 768, based on my previous XF86 configs from install time.

The docs for the new monitor says that the recommended resolution t orun
it at is 1280 * 1024 with the following:-
Horizontal Deflection Freq: 30 - 121 kHz
Vertical  Deflection Freq: 40 - 160 Hz

Could someone please let me know, or point me to how I can "simply"
reset the resolution to match those above? The sooner the better, if its
not asking too much:-)
