There are also accelerated replacements for glx and the nv driver that comes with XF864.0.2 that Nvidia distributes for linux. There is no BSD port of this yet. There is a petition to sign that someone set up for this but I forget the link. In linux I can get 90fps in Quake3 with these drivers. They are pretty fast but require a kernel module to be loaded for the XF86 nvidia module <not the nv module that comes with XF86 4.0.2> These would obviously be nice to have for FreeBSD and others but they may not be willing to port it.
