But it does not matter because you can just test if KMS works. Just install 10.1-RC version of FreeBSD, install X.org as instructed in the handbook. If it doesn't work, then use VESA. That's all there is to it really.

I'm not interested in 10.1-RC, I'm interested in nice, stable 
9.3-RELEASE :-). Both were included in Kevin's reply, so no biggie ....
