The newsgroup
comp.windows.x.i386unix
has lots of info on X11 and FreeBSD, etc.
The control of X11 is from /etc/XF86Config.
I have the 1024x768 first in 'Modes' line in the Display subsection
that is appropriate for the color depth specified in the
DefaultColorDepth.
Look at 'man XF86Config'. The Modes line description contains
information on changing modes.
Modes "modename" ...
This entry is mandatory for most X servers,
and it specifies the list of video modes to
use. The video mode names must correspond to
those specified in the appropriate Monitor
section. Most X servers will delete modes
from this list which don't satisfy various
requirements. The first valid mode in this
list will be the default display mode for
startup. The list of valid modes is converted
internally into a circular list. It is possi-
ble to switch to the next mode with
Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus and to the previous mode
with Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus.
