Otherwise, to the best of my knowledge, NetBSD is the one that you would be looking for. I am not sure, off the top of my head, whether or not they have video drivers for everything newer or not. Yellowdog linux might be something to take a look at as well, as a linux alternative. I liked their last version quite a bit.
