Hello,

First of all, it would be nice to know what version of FreeBSD you are using,
what kind of machine you run it on (or want to run it on)...
As for you graphics card, check www.freebsd.org for a list supported
hardware. In general, most recent graphics cards should work with FreeBSD; 
this does not depend on FreeBSD alone, though, your graphics card has to be 
supported by XFree86 most probably, so you want to check www.xfree.org or 
what their web-site is. xfree.org or xfree86.org, I think. 

If I was to get a new graphics adapter, I'd choose something by Matrox or a 
GeForce-based card.

Kind regards,

Benjamin
