Please note that some of these things would also no doubt positively affect other groups (ATI, Intel, etc) when writing x*64 drivers for FreeBSD, so the list isn't just necessarily just applicable to nVidia. If someone could list a number of sys/... files that I could look at in order to get a brief grasp of what needs to be modified to support proper 64-bit architecture vmem, pmap, etc, that would be extremely helpful; I want to establish a reasonable timeframe and skill set required for the task set, so I can establish a reasonable monetary figure and/or resources to donate to the project. Also, if anyone else is interested in this pursuit (I know there are quite a few), feel free to contact me so we can coordinate our efforts and pool our resources to get these sets of loose ends finally tied up to have a more accessible FreeBSD based desktop. Thanks! -Garrett
