Is there a OpenGl plugin that i can use with FBSD?  I have a Viper 770
ultra (32 MB ram) card that supports opengl in my windows box and i have
the same card in my fbsd box too.

The only way to take advantage of the OpenGL support is to get XFree86
version 3.3.5 or higher and use the TNT Xserver.  I'm pretty sure your
Viper 770 Ultra is using the TNT2 chipset, so the TNT Xserver is supposed
to support that.

Also, what type of mpeg, quicktime, or Flash support does Freebsd have?

Quicktime is unsupported entirely.  Nobody's releasing the Sorrenson codecs
to anybody, without licensing fees, so there's no Quicktime players.  MPEG
can be played on a few different players, most notably MTV (not free) and
xanim.  I can't help with Flash, though I'd assume it's available with the
latest release of Netscape (4.7).  You might check out www.macromedia.com
and find out if Flash is available for FreeBSD.
