I was just going to ask a question on a similar issue. I was reading about new graphics cards with Linux-only drivers. I've also heard BSD is somewhat less game-friendly than Linux, primarily due to the scheduler. Would it make sense to have a "set GAMES" option or command, that temporarily alters scheduling and allows direct access to video hardware as necessary?
