All of them will work fine, although the first has some problems with
fonts and acceleration, and as a result, is probably to be considered less
optimal (you have to turn off some features to use it). I know some people
who are deleriously happy with the latter two cards.

Subject: Will this Graphics Card Work?
I am looking to buy a new graphics card for my PC, because the one I have
presently doesn't work properly with FreeBSD, or should I rather say
XFree86. I don't want to waste money on a new card that doesn't work under
XFree86. I am considering the following AGP cards:
ATI Xpert 128 (Rage 128)
Diamon Viper V550 (Nvidia RIVA TNT)
Matrox Millenium G200 or G400
Which one of these cards works best? If there are better cards then please
let me know. I'm tired of trying to get my card working properly under
XFree86. I want a card that is fully supported and easy to setup. Any
recommendations would be appreciated.
