post your xorg.conf, what video card you use, driver for it - that comming from xorg or 3rd party (e.g nvidia binary driver).
your monitor size/type, and commands you use to make xorg.conf and..so forth. take your time ;)

The actual size of the monitor doesn't really matter. What's the maximum resolution it can handle?

NB 1024x1200 doesn't look right. It's 1024x768 or 1280x1024 for a 4:3 monitor.

maximum is : 1280x1024 .
i change the line PreferredMode "1024x1200" to PreferredMode "1024x768" ,i will tell the result in next reboot of my box .

Out of curiosity, you didn't reboot just to see the resolution changes, did you? Because Xorg is totally separate from FreeBSD and xorg.conf will be re-read everytime you xinit, startx, etc.
Besides virtually everything on FreeBSD itself can be modified without rebooting.

As for your problem, try adding the following to your "Screen" section:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Virtual 1024 768

You may want to install the x11-drivers/xf86-video-sis port and try the 'sis' driver instead of the 'vesa' driver in your xorg.conf file.

Instead of the different subsections for different color depths, set DefaultDepth and use only one subsection:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection


Also, have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if it contains any clues as to why it's not working.
