God yes.  Has he tried slackintosh? I love it I use it. I'm a complete 
bozo..... 

To the point. Ok, bsd has an actual driver patch for this systems Video card. 
However... They have a pci radeon that works with this system on eBay and it's 
cheap. also on slack the guy who ported this version of slackware, did a decent 
workaround for this card as well(using a framebuffer) 

However you will have no decent 3d unless you upgrade your card
