Which also the newest nVidia cards also do. I got a brand new Intel MB 
based P4 with nVidia GeForce 6  6600 GPU
(on PCI Express of course). They run flawlessly in VESA mode 
(FreeBSD5.3 and 4.10).  Fast enough for me as a
regular 2D accelerator.

But, I guess its the accelerated driver (nVidia bin driver) most ppl 
will go for, and I have mixed feelings
regarding the latest driver. My system became fairly unstable (a bit 
worse than a standard Windows
system too :-( ). This was with the older GeForce 5 5900 controller, 
though.
