Please direct all technical questions there. We are all a bunch of newbies, which means we don't know what we are talking about. It's possible to screw up your XF86Config file in such a way that will DESTROY your monitor. So get advice from the experts. Hint: I've got an Optiplex GX240, Rage128 Pro, and FreeBSD 4.5. Very similar. Use XFree86-4.2 instead of 3.3.6 with this card, and the driver is "ati".
