[MLUG] Video 3D hardware acceleration on Linux/FreeBSD

[Stephen Montgomery-Smith <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am pondering getting a decent 3D card to work with FreeBSD (whose 
requirements are probably very similar to Linux).  I am torn between 
getting an ATI card or an NVidia card.  I know that an Nvidia card works 
well with the Nvidia drivers, but I am wondering how well the ATI 
drivers with X windows compare?  (For example, does the ATI card require 
a modification/module to the kernel like the Nvidia cards, and if it 
doesn't, does the lack thereof make it slower.)

Please share your experiences with me.

Stephen
