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. Be sure to read = the complete handbook chapter on how to update your system from source = if you plan to go that route. 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.
