That FreeBSD is very good as a server OS does not mean that it should not support my graphics hardware. 3D/2D graphics is not only about playing games. But the problem here is with NVidia. Because they have to provide the drivers. Selling a video card without specifying how to access the video card is like selling a microwave oven without labeled buttons. Anyway some part of my original question isn't listed under freebsd current mailing list archives. I don't know what the problem was, but here's the more relevant part with the current... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- By the time 5.0 is released do you aim to complete all the planned features at www.freebsd.org/smp? (like full kernel preemption) I know it's a tentative list but still if there's a consensus about that let me know. Will 5.0 stable be created after KSE milestone 4 commit? I just wanted to know more about the release policy. After 5.0 stable is released, is the development in the current branch completely be named 6.0? (and any possibly new features (like finer grained locking) will be available in 6.0 stable) Or is the development in current tree will continue to be merged with 5.x for some time?
