If you're clever you can edit the 1 file preventing the driver from building on -CURRENT and it will all just work. You'll note that the package detects DEVFS, which isn't a -STABLE feature. The driver works just fine on -CURRENT but don't bother NVIDIA with bug reports if you're trying to use it there. -- | Matthew N.
