-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just wanted to know one item ... I've been running my Nvidia 8600GTS as a Vesa drivered card, becaused I didn't ahve the time to do a good job of porting their driver to current. Well, the time finally opened up for me, so I ported it, and wouldn't you know it, it really wasn't all that hard to begin with, so I now have the Nvidia card working nicely. Seeing as their supplied driver code is liberally laced with comments about it not running for FreeBSD-current, I was wondering if this'd been ported to current before me, or if it was an item that would be worth my time to fix it up neat, as a port, maybe. If a bunch of folks have their Nvidia cards working as a FreeBSD-native-binary (NOT Linux-binary), and for FreeBSD-current (doing it for earlier versions is what Nvidia already distributes), then say so, and I could just worry about other things. If not, then I gotta worry about getting the changes back to Nvidia, and to the port. The only one I know works, for really certain, is my 8600GTS. Let me know. If you want the files sooner than I can crank the port out, drop me a line, maybe I could charge you an arm 'n'a'leg for it, huh? That was my poor try at humor, don't start quoting licenses at me, OK?. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHdDRMz62J6PPcoOkRAmkCAJsG3RGVnNo+5mBzD5//uOFKm2E21ACfaRAB XcqfzCqqipRybXzGrMfguU8= =5fmf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
