At one time they listed the supported video cards, but it is possible that I missed it. >From your message I gather that you can't select your video card using XF86Setup, is that correct? Can you select a genric video card and get a basic setup started even at a low resolution? How far into the setup process do you get before you have problems? When doing the setup you will need to know the horizontal and vertical sync specs for your monitor. It could be possible that you card is not supported. Try to get a basic server setup going and re-post you results. CC freebsd-questions in your posts as there maybe others that can help.
