     If anyone is looking for something cool to do with your 3D card
(besides games), give this a shot:

     http://www.vterrain.org/
     http://vterrain.org/Implementation/unix.html

You can navigate earth and terrain models in real time with hardware OpenGL
and continuous level of detail terrain rendering algorithms such as ROAM
and a few others.  The FreeBSD ports are here:

     http://people.freebsd.org/~rhh/vterrain/

It's not 100% yet, but it's gettting there.  Here are some images captured
from the window (on my IRIX box at work):
   
     http://people.freebsd.org/~rhh/vterrain/IMAGES/

just to give you a taste.
