While that functionality should work with the FreeBSD nvidia driver I'm going to recommend that you hold off on those cards until NVIDIA makes a statement one way or the other regarding official support. They seem to have stepped up development of a supported FreeBSD driver but are telling me a whole lot less about whats going on, which I am uneasy about. If you need a solution now then look elsewhere; I'm not willing to tell people that NVIDIA support is just around the corner anymore. -- | Matthew N.
