Personally I think it's very bad FreeBSD is not supported by nVidia, like f.i. solaris is. I don't want to write in favor of solaris, mind you, but it _is_ very nice to have Xorg-7.2 installed (both 32 and 64 bits) and a working 32 _and_ 64 bits native nVidia driver with it. I have used FreeBSD for years and still hate to see this lack of support by others :-( -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ http://nagual.nl/ + Solaris 11 05/07 ++
