You probably do not need to reload the OS. When you install FreeBSD,
I recommend you to install the base system and to keep the amount of
Packages you install to a minimum. Install X.org from Ports and then
follow the instructions within the FreeBSD Handbook.

I did not know my monitor information and used the values that it
came up with and they appeared to work fine. If it works for you,
then use them. If it does not, then call your monitor manufacturer
and get the information you need. Or, resort to Google; you can
probably find the information there.
I, along with the rest of freebsd-questions, need to know more
information before a potential fix can be prescribed. This
information includes, as an example, what your current OS version is
(output of uname -a), how you installed X.org (Ports or Packages),
what you currently have in your xorg.conf.new file, what steps you
have taken and what the output is (many of the log files are within /
var/log), your hardware (what type of video card and monitor do you
have), etc. Anything that you _think_ may be relevant needs to be
given. If you are unsure, then posting extra information will not
hamper things.
In the event that it can help you right now, I have pasted the
contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as well as my .xinitrc file
(~/.xinitrc) which will start Window Maker when startx is entered. I
hope this helps.

It is up now. The documentation here will primarily assist you after
it is installed and operational.
