I've used my Geforce 2 MX with all releases from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0. The announcement is for the accelerated 2D/3D drivers, currently Linux-only. The FreeBSD drivers are in the works, and we're currently just waiting for NVIDIA to help us out on some central issues (see http://nvidia.netexplorer.org). With any luck, and the NVIDIA engineers having a bit more time (nForce launch and all), we should have 3D support for pretty much the full line of NVIDIA cards within the next several weeks. -- -Munish To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
