> I hope you keep it up or at least figure out what the driver is doing. Not in my plans at the moment. I prefer AMD GPUs over nV for OpenCL. nVidia did (and does) serve me well for the last 10 year with their excellent FreeBSD graphics driver: I had very few problems with it; it's stable and well documented, and has the performance. Huge thanks and respect to them for that [I just bought another low-end nVidia card for my home computer]. But times a-changin'. We have things like OpenCL and virtualization these days that are of interest and available to everyone (not just the "professionals"). > If they haven't explicitly put in the license terms that virtualization > is forbidden for consumer cards, there's nothing wrong with hot > patching the driver ... Why do you care about some license? It's your card, your computer, so you're free to do what _you_ want with it. How can one "forbid" virtualization? It's impossible. Only way is to design hardware and firmware that is not amenable to VT -- but nobody would do that nowadays. > assuming that they don't do things like Skype > does where it repeatedly checksums the memory image. There are ways around things. But it is easier to buy AMD than to fight someone's stupidity or incompetence. > Good hunting. > > -M -- [SorAlx] ridin' VN2000 Classic LT
