Re: xorg nouveau driver?

Ah, good news!

On the other hand, on FreeBSD there is no problem whatsoever with nVidia cards, as every latest version native driver is always available and works fine. It is on kFreeBSD that we can't use neither the native (incompatible), nor nouveau... and NV "is dead", so no improvement to be expected.

OK! Thanks for the information.

It's not supported yet, but see
http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/project%20announcements.shtml#Kostik
for the announcement of a project to implement GEM, KMS, and DRI for
Intel on FreeBSD.
