Sir, Now I have used ATI Radeon driver but the screen was still 'diagonally shifted' wherein at the bottom and at the left of the screen there was blank space.
I am using FreeBSD 6.2. I also added device drm device radeondrm in my Kernel. But it did not make any difference to the display. The solution was achieved accidentally when I changed the settings during performing settings after passing 'xorgconf' command, I selected No. 6 when the program asked for the Horizontal Refresh Rate of the monitor. Earlier I was using 30-70 KHz. Now the screen in Video mode is OK. I very sincerely thank all Gurus who helped me resolve the issue. FreeBSD is a wonderful OS. When I logged as another user and tried to enter into GUI mode, I realised that for this user also I have to do the setting so that xinitrc knows which GUI to use. I tried Gnome for this user. It is a wonderful OS, I can assign different GUI environments to different users!
