Agora eu não entendo mais nada, porque fui no pai dos burro da
Internet (wikiedia) e lá dizia isso sobre a ATI e NVIDIA:

FreeBSD systems have the same open-source support for Radeon hardware
as Linux, including 2D and 3D acceleration for Radeon R100, R200, and
R300-series chipsets. The R300 support, as with Linux, remained
experimental due to being reverse-engineered from ATI's proprietary
drivers, but with the release of official documentation by AMD
(following its buyout of ATI), all Radeon families up to R700 have at
least 2D support in the FOSS drivers, with basic video acceleration
and power management, and up to R500, have at least 'basic' (up to
OpenGL 1.5 feature set, GLSL is still a work in progress) 3D
acceleration. On R600/700, 3D is still very much experimental, and
Evergreen support has barely started due to lack of documentation.

ATI does not support its proprietary fglrx driver on FreeBSD, it has
been partly ported by a third party as of January 2007. This is in
contrast to its main rival, NVIDIA, which has periodically released
its proprietary driver for FreeBSD since November 2002 (64-bit beta
driver available as of December 3, 2009). In the meantime, the release
is similar to Linux.
