Not that Im complaining, they are good cards, we just need some support for the more recent ones! Since I cant find anything for the GeForce line... Let alone GeForce2, and the GeForce3 series (are they going to call it that?) will be on sale soon... If there is enough interest from us they should be willing to make ports to FreeBSD.. I mean they support BeOS, how many people even use that, let alone have nVidia cards? Surly we could match them in numbers!
