Dear all,

Does anyone see any chance to get the nvidia display driver (with OpenGL 
support) set up on amd64?
Or someone has even succeded?

The ports driver tell me they are only for i386, the downloaded driver from 
nvidia stops with:

ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386-freebsd 
(nv-kernel.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (nvidia.ko) is not supported
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/root/src/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9639/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/root/src/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9639.

That probaly is the same reason, it is just only for i386.

So where are the genious porters?

Best regards, Tino Engel
