Try OSS. No clue if the chipset is support, but it is worth a shot.

Also that is why I all am picky when picking hardware.

I do agree with Matze though. FreeBSD makes a truely awesome
multimedia experience. I've not seen any thing as impressive as
FreeBSD running fluxbox, the nvidia driver, and and xdesktopwaves. It
is pleasantly and graphically pleasing from all perspectives. I use
FreeBSD for everything but running a few games and it does all I need
nicely.
