My nvidia card will not be of much use (GeForce 8500GT), since
nvidia-drivers
are not there for amd64, and the open source nv driver does not even
support
XVideo extension for these cards. I can downgrade to a nv 7xxx series
card,
which works better with the open driver. I do not mind loss of 3D
support,
but would need basic things like mplayer.
Any ATI card up to and including the 9250 (rv280) is fully supported on
amd64, 3D and all. (I know because I've got one :-)
Oh, is that so? Could you please tell me how you got it to work? Because
I've got GREAT issues getting *ANY* ATI card to work with at least
Composite on FreeBSD and/or Linux. And I've even got i386. Or has something
happened since I last cried myself to sleep over this driverless hell?

I own a Radeon 9600 pro and with the xf86-video-ati from git tree I can
get 3D and even tv-out through xrandr. I believe that that the new 6.8.0
(which still is not in the ports tree) We'll gona be able to have
everything (3D, tv-out) out-of-the-box in the same way as the git one.
