This is covered in great detail in both the FreeBSD Handbook (ch 12) and Greg Lehey's book, The Complete FreeBSD (ch 9, 10). If you have the specs on your monitor and card you can set this info manually. The really important stuff is the horizontal and vertical scan rates and the max resolution. I just did this for my Laptop which has a NeoMagic 2070 video built in. Using XF86Setup, there is an entry for NeoMagic. I started with that one and edited the hor. and vertical numbers slightly. Either book has great information, the handbook is of course online, but I find the printed version a great reference.
