Yes, indeed it does.  I'm dual-booting FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE and W*ndows 
on my Dell Inspiron XPS, and though I initially used an xorg.conf from a 
"penguinista" (ie. linux) XPS site, I found slightly better results from 
running xorgcfg.  It set the "radeon" driver and defaulted to 1920x1200, 
which is the native resolution for my LCD, though only 2D graphics are 
currently supported.  HTH.
