I won't hold my breath for NVIDIA to release stable drivers. Even some Linux users have problems with their version of the drivers -- while Windows and MacOS users have no problem whatsoever with the NVIDIA drivers for that platforms (apart from the OS itself). I might take NVIDIA's drivers seriously, if NVIDIA takes an serious attitude to the development of video drivers instead of just putting out half-baked drivers just to make them look good. - James -- James Pole ICQ: 21721828 AIM: kiwijames1986 MSN: james.pole@paradise.net.nz SMS: +64-210-455-139 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
