Hi! I'm now running 304.43 on my system. I have 9-STABLE here. This is the hardware: nvidia0: <NVS 300> on vgapci0 I see no regression, everything works as usual. I never did any performance testing, but it does not seem any slower. Don't know if it is faster than before. Acceleration seems ok. I tested it with games/0ad, which is quite heavy on 3D. If you need any checks or tests, please tell me and I'll try to do them. Thanks for you work on the nvidia driver! -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
