Little problem with screen resolution

Hello to everybody, i have installed sucessfully FreeBSD 7.0 AMD64... but i still have some problems with the screen resoution.

X and XFCE are running but the screen looks curved at the sides, using 800x600@60 looks well but big, 1024x768@70 looks curved.

I try Xorg -configure, similar to X11 Configuration, and copied the file to /etc/X11.

My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2 Rev. 2002 (S-Series) socket AM2
chipset nVidia GeForce 6100/NForce 405

i dont have the HSync nor VSync of my monitor, only the frec. (50-60 Hz), is an BTC CRT model KM-511 and i haven't found any specs for this monitor.

Im not interested on high resolutions, my monitor isn't HD, im only want a general/comon conf to work (1024x768@60)

my xorg.conf is:
Code:
