[aimeec1995]

hi i literally cannot find info on this anywhere and neither bsd's have forums, so i will ask in off topic here

with acceleration and stuff

You might try asking there regarding NetBSD or subscribe it's mailing lists.

For OpenBSD, it's man pages should suffice as information source.
https://man.openbsd.org/amd64/intel.4

In general, there's no point asking here about other BSD's, this forum does not offer support for anything besides vanilla FreeBSD still within support cycle.

NetBSD added DRM/KMS support for Intel and Radeon devices in 7.0. Check dmesg|grep -i drm

Arcan display server perhaps? It's not in ports, you'd have to install it from https://github.com/letoram/arcan
Should be 'light' enough, just bit tricky to set up (have to be compiled), source has support for FreeBSD.

If it's it a matter of running low in resources I'd look to the DE/WM I was using first.

I have a Sony Vaio with an Intel Dual Core T2060 @1.6GHz and 2GB RAM running FreeBSD and an IBM Thinkpad T43 with an Intel Pentium M @2.0GHz and 2GB RAM running OpenBSD.

I use x11-wm/fluxbox on both. The Sony takes forever compiling ports compared to the others but well-suited for things like file transfer or surfing the net. I use pkg on OpenBSD and it's a pleasure to type on. So light duty for each and while they're slower at tasks than my others machines are well within acceptable performance limits for what I use them for IMO.

Questions about other operating systems in the off topic area is still off topic.

Nothing more to add to that.
