I can't change the resolution of my screen at all, I geuss that would be due to my video driver. I have an ATI X700 mobility radeon. All I really want to do is just be able to change its from this huge ass resolution to a smaller one, but when I try to change it, the display screen only gets bigger and not small and sharp.

My question is, is this due to the driver PCBSD installed for my ATI X700, and can I change the driver?

What different drivers are available?

I'm gonna do some more searching, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Remove other resolutions you don`t want from /etc/X11/xorg.conf

SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection

That is the same as XF86Config right?

Yes, xorg.conf will take precedence over XF86Config
