A not very well documented hint.. $ grep PORTS_MODULES=3D /etc/src.conf=20 PORTS_MODULES=3D emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod = x11/nvidia-driver You'll also need to boot with the new kernel.

Once things go release you might be able to update your binaries = via freebsd-update. If this seems really complicated and you want a simplified = desktop experience, there's also PCBSD.
