If the following isn't an appropriate subject for discussion on this particular mailing list, please move ensuing discussion to one that is more appropriate (possibly -hackers or -hardware). We are a simply a few guys who at more or less the same time got tired of not having 3D-support for our NVIDIA cards in FreeBSD. So we decided to start 'The FreeBSD NVIDIA Driver Initiative'. As the name may say, we tried to figure out how we were going to get hardware accelerated 3D drivers for FreeBSD. After going through a bit of work and contacting NVIDIA, it's come to this: We are located at http://nvidia.netexplorer.org, from where we try to keep people updated on how the effort is going. We have taken over Michael Carlson's petition for drivers (some of you may remember it from when it was started back in January), and if you haven't signed it yet, please come on over and do. There IS currently a team working on the drivers (not NVIDIA itself, but some people who are getting a bit of help from NVIDIA at least). We will keep you updated on how things go. For those of you wondering about the legal issues, they DID come up, and have been successfully resolved. Please drop by the site to sign the petition and check on how things are going. Cheers, Munish Chopra The FreeBSD NVIDIA Driver Initiative _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
