Free BSD Graphics Card

I am running FreeBSD on a number of servers, however I
am now looking to launch a commercial product on
FreeBSD. FreeBSD generally installs X Windows but
sometimes it fails. In this case I am not selling the
machine but providing a service on an ongoing
maintenance basis. This means that I must be able to
build new FreeBSD servers on a timescale.

What I need to know is which graphics card can I buy
that will support X Windows where that motherboard is
supporting FreeBSD. I don't have a problem with
FreeBSD itself only X-Windows. I had previously worked
on the principle that the GeForce 4000 would always be
OK. When I purchased the latest one it did not work.
The selling company seemed to realise that this could
be the case as they stated that it was possible that
one GeForce 4000 was not the same as another - in any
case they were correct, it failed.

I do not wish to do anything other that put the board
in. This worked before with GeForce. I know that there
are drivers for some cards but it is confusing to
install these so I want a supported board.

Any information on this subject would be very much
appreciated, specifically the name of a board and
online supplier that can offer it would be great. All
the lists I have contain only boards that are not
available and all suppliers have never heard of
FreeBSD.

I am using FreeBSD 6.1

Thanks in advance

Ed
