Sorry, I forgot that to mention: ATi only provides a driver for Linux.

But there is/was a project[0] which did a port to FreeBSD. A older 
version of this driver is hosted by Alexander Leidinger: 
http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/ATI/

Personally, I do not have any experiences with this driver as my video 
card (Radeon 9250) is fully supported by X.


My apologies if I did confuse you.
