Some things to look for: 1) check the AGP aperture size in your system BIOS. Roughly, I believe this determines the amount of system memory for the AGP card to tunnel through. I have mine set to 32M (out of 64M total memory) 2) check the rest of your BIOS settings. I didn't have a difficult time getting the card to run in FreeBSD per se, but I did manage to destroy windows a few times trying to get my TNT working there. We finally went to the BIOS and played around with things like the video shadow (disabling) and got it working better. 3) If you can, check the card in another machine; maybe it's bad anyway 4) can you give a little more detail about what you mean that it is slow? I'm not sure that an accelerated X server is going to help you much if this is actually a configuration issue.
