With more expensive graphics cards, like HD4830, HD4850 we never had the issue, but with smaller cards, like HD4670. HD4670 never worked. HD4770 cards work with explicit set option "DRI" "OFF" As far as I know, WITHOUT_NOUVEAU does have no effect on the current ports, since it is reported in ports/UPDATING, it prevents building nouveau driver which is broken when using newer libdrm/dri and libGLUT, but those new ports do not seem to be merged into the tree. The situation is heavily unsatisfying, since one need an expensive AMD/ATi Radeon card to gain non-3D poor functionality, where a cheaper one should be do the same - but the cheaper ones don't work. Even if one uses AMD64, the situattion is worse and I have no reason using Linux-driver on a FreeBSD box. Hope the situation gets cleared in the nearest future. It's a kind of deadlock. As I said, either spenig a lot of money for a working RV770 based AMD graphics card with poor functionality or nothing so far, since most smaller RV730 chips aren't supported properly by the most recent drivers.
