need help with nvidia drivers

[Super Biscuit]

I fixed by using the following method.
Opened the properties and set the screen resolution.
Opened firefox and downloaded the old xorg.conf I sent you earlier.
Logged out and then back in as root.
Used kate to copy the screen layout from the downloaded file to the active xorg.conf file.
Saved and restarted x.

Believe it or not, I did need you to walk me through the process. There were quite a few things I wasn't able to notice on my own.
Thanks a lot and all that.

Hi,

well i don`t know, i don`t have any modes specified in xorg.conf here
is what my xorg.conf looks like with geforce fx5500 . 
Sorry but i think i can`t help you any further :-( , maybe you can
join #nvidia on irc.freenode and ask there or use some freebsd
related irc channel on any irc network you may like.

mail-user-agent to quote a lil` better ;-)
