For a PCI bus 3D card that mostly works today on FreeBSD and uses XFree86-4.0.x pick up a PCI bus Voodoo4. One of a couple of different web sites that talk about getting it up and running is at... http://www.teleport.com/~anholt/devel/dri/ You could also try asking around on "freebsd-multimedia" The only other card that had some working 3D support for FreeBSD in XF4.0.2 was the G400, but the DMA mechanisms that the DRI architecture uses in that version of XFree86 pretty much require that it be an AGP card.
