I am frustrated by being forced to use linux to program 3D applications (such as for the university course in programming video games). So I decided to start studying bumblebee to adapt it for FreeBSD and rewrite it all over again in a BSD Licence. Soon I will publish the link to the repository where I will put the work in progress. I hope to receive your suggestions and remarks. Regards Alfonso. [0] http://bumblebee-project.org/
