Widescreen on Xorg?

Howdy. 

I'm relatively new to FreeBSD on the desktop.  I've been burning along 
quite happily for a couple months, but this morning my new Samsung 226BW 
showed up (22 inch widescreen).

Pretty screen, but running in Xorg and GNOME, I'm limited to a 
resolution that's rather crap (1280x1024 before it starts shifting 
around following the mouse).

Relevant lines from my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
        #DisplaySize      470   300     # mm
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "SAM"
        ModelName    "SyncMaster"
        ModeLine     "1680x1050" 119.0 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 
1059 1080
 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
        HorizSync    30.0 - 81.0
        VertRefresh  56.0 - 75.0
        Option      "DPMS"
EndSection


Section "Device"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
        ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
        ### [arg]: arg optional
        #Option     "NoAccel"                   # [<bool>]
        #Option     "SWcursor"                  # [<bool>]
        #Option     "ColorKey"                  # <i>
        #Option     "CacheLines"                # <i>
        #Option     "Dac6Bit"                   # [<bool>]
        #Option     "DRI"                       # [<bool>]
        #Option     "NoDDC"                     # [<bool>]
        #Option     "ShowCache"                 # [<bool>]
        #Option     "XvMCSurfaces"              # <i>
        #Option     "PageFlip"                  # [<bool>]
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "i810"
        VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
        BoardName   "945G Integrated Graphics Controller"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection


And a screen section with no mode settings but a bunch of color depths.

Anyone have any words of wisdom?
