xf86cfg should generate a modeline for you for the resolution and
frequency ranges you specified when selecting your monitor. For your
color depth, you need something like this in your "Screen" section:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
Then put this in your .xserverrc:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper -depth 24
You should be good to go. If it comes out looking funny, tweak it
with xvidtune and use the info you get back to tweak your modeline.
Failing that, there's a really in-depth section about computing your
modeline by hand in chapter 9 of Greg Lehey's _The Complete FreeBSD_,
2nd edition, but you really shouldn't have to do that.
