There is a beta version for linux, but nothing for freebsd as far as I can tell. I think this port should be marked broken when people try to use it in combination with Xorg 1.5.3 >How-To-Repeat: Install xorg-server-1.5.3_2,1. The driver will break. Rebuild the nvidia-driver-96xx port, still broken. >Fix: There is no fix I know of. It seems people are waiting on nvidia to release an abi compatible driver. The work around is to use the Xorg "nv" driver instead of the nvidia driver. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
