Hi Brossin,
	The drivers are working fine for me. My /etc/X11/XF86Config is
exactly as xf86config would generate it for my GeForce4 Ti4400, but I
uncommented 'load "glx"' and switched the Driver in the Device section to
"nvidia" along with doing the regular switch of the mouse driver to auto
and setting the mouse device to /dev/sysmouse.
	I'm running an AMD XP1800+ at stock clock in an EPoX 8KHA (KT266
chipset) with an Abit Siluro GeForce4 Ti4400, FreeBSD-4.7-STABLE as of two
nights ago and XFree86-4 from the same time.
	My kernel is relatively boring and uninteresting, just stripped or
any drivers I don't need and with psm flags of 0x200 to play nice with my
IOGear KVM switch.
	Not that it really makes any difference, but the output from
glxinfo is available at http://www.scoundrelz.net/~hemi/glxinfo-nvidia.txt
for those that are curious. If you'd like any other config files
(XF86Config, kernel config, loader.conf, rc.conf, anything), just let me
know.
	I've only had one problem with the drivers, and that was an
unpredicted/unexplained hard lock during a long BZFlag session :)
Everything else, from glxgears to xscreensaver to Tuxkart has been
downright flawless. I haven't yet tried the Linux binary support, but I'll
get around to it eventually.

Thanks,
Josh
