I've just come back to FreeBSD as a desktop after the new additions of PKGNG/poudriere, new KMS/X.org, bhyve etc... I've always used Linux but I love FreeBSD; and use it quite often at work. Thanks very much for the updated xorg stack, on my systems with Nvidia video cards X starts in a snap without any xorg.conf configuration file. It also works perfectly with proprietary Nvidia drivers. To help this into reaching the official ports tree and to avoid people in waiting for long compile sessions I've built a PKGNG repository that contains the following ports for FreeBSD 10/amd64: x11/xorg x11/xorg-minimal x11/nvidia-driver x11/nvidia-settings x11/nvidia-xconfig multimedia/libvdpau multimedia/vdpauinfo All the packages have been built from today's portsnap checkout with the xorg-mesaupdate.diff patch (2013-Sep-12). Nvidia packages have been updated to 325.15; and nvidia-settings now has a dependency on libvdpau. Linux support is disabled as I'm not interested in it. You can add the repository here: http://negativo17.org/freebsd/xorg/ If you have any issue/feedback please let me know; I will try to address them as soon as I can. I will write an entry in my blog about this in the next days after some initial feedback. One question: Is there any interest in such a bleeding edge repository also for FreeBSD 9.x or for the i386 platform?
