Hi Victor,
Not sure if this will help, but there's some good information from a
Linux Dell D610 user who seems to have a good xorg.conf which should
be roughly the same for FreeBSD:
http://www.kcore.org/?menumain=4&menusub=2
He mentions a video BIOS patch called '915resolution'. There's a
FreeBSD version at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/915resolution/pkg-descr
