hello,
Minor drama were my VGA monitor connected to a old broken display laptop will not display at the monitors resolution. With the old Xorg wasn't a drama but now I've upgraded to Freebsd 11, and let Xorg do its thing, it works but poor resolution.
I've read and did what FreeBSD manual claims is correct.....eg
Boot loader.conf;
have /etc/X11 empty
and created /usr/local/etc/X11/xorgconf.d monitor0-freq.conf and screen-resoluton.conf
but to no avail.
so I resorted to xrandr and did
and it works....yay!
But after reboot....once again says my monitor is out of range and resorts to a crap resolution
What is the best way to set this up....just put this xrandr stuff in my boot loader ? or is there a better way less messy
Thankyou in advance

Code:
# gtf 1440 900 60
#xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
