I even found a few workarounds posted on the net on how to get the nVidia driver to support CUDA natively (none of them official but they still exist). So I will ask again if it can be made to work in any way at all (even if a told hack) then it is incorrect to say CUDA is not possible with nVidia on FreeBSD (yes very hard but not impossible). -- Aryeh M.
