Well, with XFree, as it's been said here != FreeBSD but runs on it, I
would suggest using Diamond Stealth64 Video VRAM with 4M ram, and make
sure the card has 220 RAMDAC, there's atleast 175 around too...

that runs well on FreeBSD/XFree and atleast I am happy with it, if you
want to try something better and faster, it lacks the XFree support...

until we can run FreeBSD on SGI, I'd die happy the day it would happen,
i doubt there's anything better around...
