nVidia on FreeBSD?

19 Sep 2002

The FreeBSD NVIDIA Driver Initiative made an announcment a few days ago

I've had a few bits and pieces trickle down to me in the past few days, and finally got them confirmed from other sources, so they should be pretty reliable.
Basically, the latest Linux drivers were released not too long ago, which means the *NIX driver team at NVIDIA now has time to concentrate on getting the FreeBSD driver out the door. Apparently they still have some polishing to do, which I suppose is a Good Thing (TM).

Maybe I can finally run one of my favorite games, Railroad Tycoon II (the Linux version), with my GeForce4 in the computer (when I get my current one replaced). Currently, I cannot run XFree86 while I' in FreeBSD unless I've got my older Voodoo3 card installed.

Crossing my fingers. :)
