I have not searched exactly how it is possible to have glx acceleration with 336 and NVidia boards, but Iwould be intersted to know if some how-to existed (I've switched to 4.0.x as this should have been the way to DRI and fully-supported, OS-independant, 3D acceleration) nevertheless, the NVidia "Linux kernel module" seems to be a encapsulation of their Win$$ driver, so as to be usable under Linux. Maybe the careful study of the source included in the "kernel module" can give some hints on how to do the same kind of wrapper for FreeBSD good luck -- Thierry Herbelot To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
