Correcting the display resolution
I have an issue with the display resolution under Xfce. The monitor can handle 1024x768, but the screen display is 800x600. The control panel does not allow me to change this.
I also found the file .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml in which I have made changes, but after a restart these changes get lost.
What makes this issue even stranger is that a previous installation of the exact same distribution (FreeBSD 8.1), did yield a resolution of 1024x768 from the start.
UPDATE: Something else that has puzzled me is why the refresh rate is at 61Hz, as opposed to a choice of 60Hz and 75Hz, with no option to change this.

XFCE4-POWER-MANAGER(1) General Commands Manual XFCE4-POWER-MANAGER(1)
NAME
xfce4-power-manager-settings - Settings dialog for the Xfce 4 Power manager
SYNOPSIS
xfce4-power-manager-settings [options]
DESCRIPTION
xfce4-power-manager-settings is a utility that comes with the Xfce4 power manager to access/change its configuration. It is a separate
program that uses xfconf to load/save settings according to the user's choices. xfce4-power-manager-settings requires the Xfce4 power man-
ager to be running because it connects to it via DBus and gets information about which settings should and should not be displayed; for
example, the xfce4-power-manager-settings utility will not show the LCD brightness settings if no device was detected by the running
instance of the Xfce4 power manager.
xfce4-power-manager-settings does not have any command line options.
