No, X works just fine on other platforms thank you very much.

Now GNOME and other things are a different story.

AIUI X on FreeBSD depends on HAL, X support for which is now deprecated? I haven't had any trouble yet, but I'm worried.

Try using a recent model AMD graphics card, you will only get hardware acceleration when running X on Linux.

That's a driver; has nothing to do with X itself.

Consider that the nVidia driver works on Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux. Therefore accelerated X works there as well.
