Note: Replying to the group only because the email address is
suspicious.

FreeBSD supports nearly every video card on the market, however FreeBSD
stops at the console text-mode level.  If you want to run a GUI (X),
then
you need to look into what XFree (Which ships with FreeBSD, but is not
part of the project) supports.  Their homepage is http://www.xfree.org.

Generally, XFree has pretty good raster (2D) support all around, but
their
3D support is much less mature and only works on a handfull of cards.
