The VESA driver is not optimal for that card. The radeon driver will at least get you 2-D acceleration, though not 3-D. The reason xorg -configure doesn't find your card is most likely the absence of a radeon kernel driver in your kernel. FreeBSD 6.1 still needed the following two lines added to the kernel configuration, though 6.2 doesn't seem to need them. device drm device radeondrm I don't recall whether you stated which version of FreeBSD you were using.
