Hello Roland,

thank you for your reply.

The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster P2770. As you recommended I added 
Modeline-settings to "xorg.conf" as specified in the monitor's 
documentation, which I found here:

http://www.samsung.com/de/support/model/LS27EFHKUF/EN-downloads?downloadName=UM#

However, the result is still the same.

The weird thing is:
Right now I'm writing this email from the same desktop PC on my Linux 
partition and it works out of the box in Full-HD without creating a 
"xorg.conf" file, so I think/hope it should be possible to get this 
running on FreeBSD, too.

Attachments:
- Improved xorg.conf (nvidia, FreeBSD)
- New Xorg.0.log (nvidia, FreeBSD)
- Xorg.0.linux.working.log (nvidia, working on Linux)


Regards
Danny
