Most common AGP capable northbridge chipsets are supported by stable and current. What is also needed for direct rendering is the kernel module for the card type. Currently supported for direct rendering with freebsd are; 3Dfx Voodoo 3/4/5 (both PCI and AGP varieties work) ATI AGP radeon (the older generation of cards) ATI AGP r128's (but not the "fury maxx") MGA AGP G200/G400/G450's The PCI versions of the latter cards are not supported since the person who ported the card specific kernel modules didn't have the pci versions of the cards available or the time/interest to make it work. Much of the work on the uoregon.edu site mentioned earlier in this thread has been folded back into the XFree86-CVS head branch for possible inclusion with the 4.2.0 XFree86 release, but it needs some FreeBSD users testing it.
