I think you're confusing 3d drivers with 2d drivers, which is what he was asking for. The 3.3.6 XFree86 which comes with FreeBSD in the Distributions option includes a Mach64 2d driver in the Servers section as "Ma64". The XFree86 4.x series has Mach64 support in the base package (/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 or the XFree86 4 miniports in /usr/ports/x11*). Dan: I would recommend the 4.x series if you have the bandwidth/time to get it. As far as 3d support, Utah-GLX may support Rage Pro mach64s on FreeBSD, but I don't know much about it (last experience with mach64 was a 2mb rage pro with 3.3.6 on linux, and I have no experience with utah on FreeBSD). There are also several developers working on mach64 support for the dri. At this point they have it working in a very insecure mode, but have been able to run many popular apps (q3, etc.). The kernel module has not been ported to FreeBSD because it's still in heavy development (doesn't implement DMA yet).
