I have some questions about the state of the x11/nvidia-driver. At the moment, the "stable" driver is beyond version number 260.XX, but FreeBSD's port contain only version 256.53. Is there a reason why there is no more recent version in the ports? The next question is about a problem with nVidia NV560Ti boards. They ar not supported yet by any "official" driver, even not by any Linux BLOB, but there seems to be a "Beta" driver that already has support for this kind of board. Are the efforts and costs too high to provide a BETA driver, like x11/nvidia-driver-beta? And the last question is about the place where the nVidia binary driver is kept. I tried to look for it intuitively at folder x11-driver. Is there a reason why this BLOB is kept outside the x11-driver folder? Oliver
