You need to do this:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4				(1)
# make WITH_MATROX_GXX_DRIVER=yes install
# kldload agp
# kldload mga

(1) or use /usr/ports/x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server

And then make sure you have the following lines in XF86Config, in
your "Module" section:

Load "glx"
Load "dri"

I *think* that's all - look for the lines in /var/log/XFree86.0.log that
say something like this:

(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler
(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) MGA(0): direct rendering enabled

You can also use /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo to get more information
on GL capabilities supported by the display.

If you always want to load the kernel modules on bootup, you can
add them to /boot/loader.conf(5).

HTH,

--Stijn
