 when you click the narrower and shorters (etc) buttons, shouldnt the
 display
 be obeying these buttons?  if so, im at a loss, as when i click them back
 and forth, nothing happens.
 
 ill try again,
 
You should press apply after any change. Or set it to auto, it will
apply automatically. There is a manual page, you know ?

well, i finally got it to render at 1680x1050, but the size of my
desktop is fixed at about 1.5 outside the physical size of the
lcd (and about 3/8 top
and bottom).  ive dont quite a bit of googling, and i am now
trying to figure out if there is a way to constain or shrink the
desktop down, so that i will be at the edges of my screen?
  
   Did you try xvidtune ? It is disigned for that purpose.
  
   i did, but i couldnt outwardly figure out what i was looking at. 
   when i go tot he xvidtune page tho, it says its for XFree86... will
   it till work properly for xorg?
 
  Yes, for me its works very well with Xorg.
  I bought me a new IIyama lcd screen and I had to add manually
  some new mode-lines. You can extrapolate from the existing ones.
  Then xvidtune makes the finishing touch. Press on show and replace
  the mode-line with the output of xvidtune.

 when you click the narrower and shorters (etc) buttons, shouldnt the
 display be obeying these buttons?  if so, im at a loss, as when i click
 them back and forth, nothing happens.

 ill try again,

 
 problem solved.  got an nvidia 7300GS.  as little changing the driver and
 vendor name, and the next startx i was at the proper resolution and
 refresh rate.
 
You know that Nvidia has a driver for FreeBSD if you want those
special things your card can do, like twin display, 
brialliance adjust, tv-out etc...
