Sis671 Graphic card driver

Hello
I'm considering converting from linux to BSD, but i must know if there exist any driver to sis671 :stud . The vendor, Silicon integrated systems, won't release any official driver to linux or BSD.
Anyway, the 2d-driver is available on some linux distros like ubuntu, mandriva. What's the situation on FreeBSD?

That doesn't necessarily mean anything. There are definitely open source drivers that work fine on linux but not FreeBSD.
True but mainly on the accelerated front.
 
In some cases, it's even 2D acceleration:

Code:
[ root@memory - /usr/ports/x11-drivers ]: for i in xf86-video-*; do egrep -H -i -e '(broken|ignore)' $i/Makefile;  done
xf86-video-cyrix/Makefile:IGNORE=               requires pciVideoPtr typedef
xf86-video-imstt/Makefile:IGNORE=               requires pciVideoPtr typedef
xf86-video-nsc/Makefile:BROKEN=         does not build
xf86-video-sis-intel/Makefile:IGNORE=           requires pciVideoPtr typedef
xf86-video-via/Makefile:IGNORE=         requires pciVideoPtr typedef
xf86-video-via/Makefile:IGNORE=         does not install on sparc64

So it really is important to realize that Xorg is not the same across every platform, even when it comes to simple 2D drivers.
