Thanks for your reply.
Maybe one of you can help me.
I reinstalled FreeBSD few times and couldn't get it to work.
You see, every time i try the XFree86Setup. I wanna try the second time, it
fails :(
Anyway,
I have this Card:
Cardexpert TM64 Nvidia Riva TNT2 4xAGP 32MB VGA

And I think my other Problem is the Monitor, It's a ViewSonic PF970.

Hope one of you guys can help me and tell me which settings should I choose.
Now I feel stupid 'cause I sold my old PC. I had an old 8MB card on it. I
used to SuperProbe and use the XF86Config script.

Thanks,

--Nader
