Indeed; I've been happy with the update. I am running FreeBSD/i386; I run stable/8, stable/9, and head (on different slices), updated daily. (As of this morning, running each at r236141. I also update all installed ports daily ("portmaster -da --index").) Since I use a common /usr/local, I build my ports under stable/8, though I rebuild x11/nvidia-driver each time I rebuild the kernel (usually, 3x/day), and that is built under the OS I'm running at the time. My graphics card is identified as: NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 770M (G96GL). Recently, I "cloned" my stable/9 slice & rebuilt it using clang, and everything still works Just Fine -- including x11/nvidia-driver. So, at least in my case, I respectfully disagree with the assessment in the Subject. Peace, david --=20 David H.
