My Radeon 9500 (upgraded to a 9700 in Win with a utility called Riva Tuner 
- don't know what if any difference this makes in FreeBSD) works with 
XFree86, both latest port and source cvsup-ed as of yesterday, though I 
get the same message re "No matching Device section...."

Is it an AGP card?  Do you happen to have "device agp" in your kernel?  
Sorry, I (obviously) don't know much about this, and that's all I can 
think of.
