There is a binary-only i386 driver for later models available There is some (incomplete) support for cards based on R300-series chips (including the Mobility 9700 aka. M10). There's some info on r300.sourceforge.net, and a FreeBSD version that seems to work is available by installing the following ports: graphics/dri-devel x11-server/xorg-server-snap It also requires -current or RELENG_6 for the kernel-side support, although backporting to 5.4 might be as simple as copying the sys/dev/drm directory. Lacking a linux_dri-devel, it won't work with Linux binaries, and the driver might not be complete enough for some games yet. Relevant to this list, it does work on FreeBSD/amd64. > from NVidia. Which obviously doesn't support later model Radeons, although it does support NVidia cards of comparable generations. But you can't usually switch graphics chipsets on a laptop...
