Gnome display configuration problem

[Gary Robinson]

Hi,

Yesterday I installed freebsd 6.1 on an old Dell PowerEdge 1300. It's 
working fine with one exception. I installed gnome from freebsd ports, 
and it's giving me a 640x480, 80 Hz screen resolution. The Screen 
Resolution Preferences panel gives that combination as the only option. 
But my monitor has better capabilities.

I have edited my xorg.conf.new so that it contains info describing my 
display, a Nanoa T2-17TS:

Section "Monitor"
	DisplaySize	  1250  938	# mm
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	VendorName   "Nanoa"
	ModelName    "T2-17TS"
	Option	    "DPMS"
        HorizSync   30-86
        VertRefresh 55-160
EndSection

Other relevant information was automatically filled in be "Xorg -config 
xorg.conf.new":

Section "Device"
        ### Available Driver options are:-
        ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
        ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
        ### [arg]: arg optional

	SubSection "Display"

	SubSection "Display"

		Depth     16
	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Does anyone have any thoughts about what I can do so that Gnome gives 
me more options?

Any help would be appreciated.
