Can anyone tell me if the nVidia display driver (ports/x11/nvidia-driver) works on current? The nVidia README says it's not "supported" but I'm wondering if it still works. Since 5.x and 6.x are fairly close I'm thinking it might still work and wondering if anyone has it working - if so I'll try it out myself. Thanks, Alan (Here's the relevant part of the README) __________________________________________________________________________ (sec-01) SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS __________________________________________________________________________ The offical minimum software requirements for the NVIDIA FreeBSD Driver Set are: - FreeBSD 5-STABLE (FreeBSD 5.3 or later) Please review sec-05: CHOOSING THE AGP GART DRIVER for AGP related information. - kernel source tree in /usr/src/sys (package 'ssys' installed) - Xorg 6.7.0 or XFree86 4.2 and greater FreeBSD -STABLE versions older than FreeBSD 5.3 and FreeBSD 6.x -CURRENT development snapshots are not supported. __________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Sell on Yahoo!
