I just installed and finished the updates about an hour ago, and I cannot seem to change my refresh rate. The GUI only gives me two options: Auto and 0.0.
I want 75hz. How do I edit my xorg.conf file in PC-BSD?

I am using an ATI Radeon 9200. I'd like to at the very least change the refresh rate, and if possible use the correct driver. It says I don't have write access when I try to edit the file. So, here are my questions:
1. How do I open the file with root access?
2. Do you think manually typing in a different refresh rate would work?
3. Is the right ATI driver already installed? If so, how do I activate it? If not, how do I install it?
Thanks.
