I run a matrox millennium card and get very good res with it. You will probably have to upgrade the XFree package to get better support for that card. Check the Xfree web page there are some docs there regarding setp. As an after thaought, I did get that card working on FBSD 2.2.2. When you run XF86Setup, after you setup the mouse and keyboard,select the video card and skip the detail setup. In the monitor section, there are entries for the horizontal and vert sync parameters. They are right above the big section that list verious resolutions etc. Check the docs for your monitor and enter the max rate gor hoz and ver sync on the respective lines. Apply those and complete the configuration. Once that is done a server should startx and drop you into xvidtune. Adjust the raster to your liking. Save the config and exit. Start the xserver, it the image is distorted or the monitor starts to make strange noises kill the server Ctrl+Alt+backspace or turn the monitor off. Any of those conditions indicate that the config is wrong. You should have any problems if you enter the proper parameters for the monitor. Give that a shot and let me know how it works out.
