This is probably not what you are looking for; however, on my
FreeBSD-7.2 system I had to place this in the ~/.xinitrc file:

xrandr --size 1024x768 --rate 85
/usr/local/bin/startxfce4

Now, my screen starts up in in the proper resolution. It was the only
way to get it to work correctly and consistently.
