There is no special accelerated X server for your card, you'll have to 
continue using the SVGA server.

Linux and FreeBSD use the same X distribution, XFree86.  Configuration 
should be identical, on the X side.

There is a script called `xf86config' that makes building the XF86Config 
file a snap.

There might be some info in the Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org), but 
I'm not sure on that.
