To Whom it May Concern: I couldn't find a place to edit the FreeBSD documentation, so I'm writing this email. I recently needed to install a driver for my nVidia graphics chip.. I wasn't sure which of the three drivers to use. FreeBSD FAQ 11.16 covers nVidia chips, but the link to nVidia site ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html) wasn't very helpful. I was able to figure out that my chip is supported by a legacy driver, but not which one. Someone from the Project Trident Telegram group suggested.this link: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us. I was able to quickly determine that I need nvidia-driver-340. I would suggest replacing the first link with the link suggested by the Project Trident people.
