Well lets do all 3 :) Who has a decent connected web server we can host this mail thingy on? And who is willing to co-ordinate it? Looking on the nVidia site, they dont really give a mail address we should post to for this sort of thing... So unless someone knows a better address mail should goto info@nvidia.com (Corporate Office). The only other addresses I could find were for investors (we buy there cards are we *investing* in them ;), the press and jobs... Can we simply port the kernel module? I dont have the skills in that area, so if it can be done hopefully someone is willing to do the tech stuff... Anyone? Allright, anyone have any other ideas or things to add? Lets get the ball rolling on this asap :))) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
