Hi,

I noticed that Linux binaries which use 3D are no capable of using
direct rendering with the free 3D drivers in the xorg servers.  I
verified that DRI works for FreeBSD binaries (have a Radeon 7500 in a
Thinkpad). 

Did anybody investigate this yet?

Does this work with the binary FreeBSD drivers provided by NVidia?
Cannot check, my only NVidia-equipped FreeBSD box runs amd64 :-/

Martin
