Video card compatibility is handled by XFree86. So, whether you're using Linux or one or FreeBSD, it might be good to bookmark the following page: http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/Status.html For future purchases, it's also good to know that NVIDIA creates drivers for both Linux and FreeBSD. This has made my purchasing decisions very easy. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html
