Good to hear. I expect few things would require some adjustments (OPTIONS and packaging list come to mind first), but the fact port works with just your simple changes is definitely a good sign. ../danfe _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I presume that it does need at least 8.0-RELEASE to work, but I can't imagine that the underlying code would be different for i386/amd64. i.e. the new driver *should* be better on both i386 and amd64, at least if they have compiled an i386 version. I do still wish that nvidia would join the rest of the modern world and decide to release docs and code like every other vendor, but that is a different debate I suppose. robert. > ./danfe > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" -- Robert Noland <rnoland(a)FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

My understanding is that the blob is the same on all platforms. The driver may be the same (or close). The package is different. While both ship with Linux x86 libraries, they contain only the FreeBSD libraries specific to the platform (amd64 or i386). > I do still wish that nvidia would join the rest of the modern world > and decide to release docs and code like every other vendor, but that > is a different debate I suppose. I concur, yet I am very happy at the moment to see them support FreeBSD amd64.

Driver we talk about is beta 195.22, and it exists for both i386 and amd64. It officially supports FreeBSD 7.2 with a current RELENG_7 kernel (>= 702106; use of a top-of-tree RELENG_7 kernel is recommended to ensure recent Linux ABI compatibility fixes are picked up); 8.0 is also supported: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142120 ../danfe _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I > presume that it does need at least 8.0-RELEASE to work, but I can't it also works with RELENG_7 (but not 7.2R) as a side note, I installed wine in a 32bit chroot and installed the 32bit version of the new nvidia driver and I can Play World of Warcraft without any issues, so I guess it works Just like linux does.
