hmm, how did you configure it back then ? :)

did you try XFree -configure ?

an alternative is to use e.g. a knoppix-cdrom (till 3.6 it uses XFree86, 
not sure about 3.7) and if that's giving you a good resolution, then
scp the /etc/X11/XF86* to another machine, and edit the mouse-section to
make it work for your FreeBSD-machine, that is : replace the /dev/mouse
or /dev/psaux etc. into /dev/sysmouse and change the mouse-protocol
