I've just tried to edit my xorg.conf with this faq:

http://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver

at the end of this faq is written : 'See also : Xorg 7.1 Manual - X.org 7.1
official documentation'
And the version of xorg package included in FreeBSD 7.0-Release is 7.3, so
this means Radeon 9600 must have 2d-accleration support with this driver, as
you said.
but it looks like my card isn't probed by both ati and radeon drivers. 
dmesg shows a line with both 'drm0' and 'Radeon9600', but after i startx, X
log says:
'RADEON : ...... device can't be probed on pci:1:0:0.'

'pciconf -lv' also lists my Radeon 9600 card correctly, on pci0:1:0:0 and
pci0:1:0:1.
I tried changing the value of pci in xorg.conf too, but it doesn't work.

I'd like to copy my entire log here, but my network device doesn't seem to
work with freebsd : it works with uath driver in Linux, but uath isn't yet
supported by both native driver and ndis wrapper in FreeBSD. And my windowz
hard disk hangs from time to time for some unknown reason even if I mount it
in read-only mode, so i woudn't dare write on it...
So bear with me please.

my version of xf86-video-ati is 6.7.195. Now, I'll have to track all
dependencies in order to compiile tis port, and download them one by one in
windows.. so I think I'll skip this, unless someone give me link where the
dependency tree is well documented. Okay, i'll try your solution when i get
my network working...
