Owain Ainsworth (oga@) has been working on 3D acceleration with OpenBSD, in -CURRENT support for UXA/DRI2 for Intel DRM exists, AFAIK, this is a first in the BSD community.. and improves performance.

There is also support for the latest R600/R700 ATI graphics cards in -CURRENT, i.e: 3D acceleration on later model cards.

I also believe he's working on getting KMS support in the kernel, which will definitely help.. and hopefully will mean a kernel panic will become noticeable while X is running.

If you want good *BSD support, use Intel or ATI/AMD graphics, don't use nVidia.
