I have seen some talk about running DRI (direct rendering) under 
FreeBSD 4.2 stable.  I would like to do this, and am thinking about 
buying a graphics card for this purpose.

First of all, is this idea of running DRI on the stable branch
plausible?  I see the instructions at

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1125326+0+archive/2000/freebsd-questions/20000903.freebsd-questions

And some follow ups but I am curious how well this setup works.

Second, I have been leaning towards a matrox G400 (I already 
have one at home, and this would be only one setup to get working).
I want decent OpenGL performance, but I am not a mad gamer.  In fact
the quake demo gives me motion-sickness :-)

I think I can still get a G400 instead of a G450.
