Zander teilte heute auf nvnews.net mit, dass ab sofort eine experimentelle Version des propitären nVidia Grafiktreiber für FreeBSD/amd64 bereit steht. Dieser benötigt zum Funktionieren ein FreeBSd 8.0 oder ein aktuelles 7-Stable. Viel mehr möchte ich an dieser Stelle dazu gar nicht schreiben, ich reiche die Ankündigung so durch. Ich bitte alle Interessierten diese aufmerksam zu lesen.

I am pleased to announce the initial release of NVIDIA FreeBSD BETA graphics drivers that take advantage of kernel features (see http://wiki.freebsd.org/NvidiaFeatureRequests) added in FreeBSD 7.3 and 8.0 that enable improved NVIDIA graphics driver support for FreeBSD/i386 and initial support for FreeBSD/amd64.
The binary components of this release are functionally identical to those included with the 195.22 NVIDIA FreeBSD BETA graphics driver release announced earlier (see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142095). However, the kernel interface layer updated for FreeBSD 7.3 and 8.0 provides improved compatibility, especially on systems with 4GB or more of RAM, improved performance (mileage will vary between systems) and support for features like SLI. It also introduces support for FreeBSD/amd64.
In order to use this driver release, your system will need to have either FreeBSD 7.3 or FreeBSD 8.0 (or later) installed. Until FreeBSD 7.3 has been released, you can use FreeBSD 7.2 with a current RELENG_7 kernel (__FreeBSD_version__ >= 702106; use of a top-of-tree RELENG_7 kernel is recommended to ensure recent Linux ABI compatibility fixes are picked up). For general installation instructions, please see the README.
Both the FreeBSD/x86 and FreeBSD/x86-64 driver packages include 32-bit Linux ABI compatibility libraries; 64-bit Linux libraries may be included with a future release (when support for Linux/x86-64 compatibility is added to FreeBSD/amd64). The FreeBSD/x86-64 package does not include the FreeBSD/x86 OpenGL libraries; however, the libraries shipped with the FreeBSD/x86 driver package have been tested on FreeBSD/x86-64.
The 195.22 NVIDIA Accelerated FreeBSD Graphics Driver Set for FreeBSD/x86 (7.3/8.0) is available for download via FTP.
The 195.22 NVIDIA Accelerated FreeBSD Graphics Driver Set for FreeBSD/x86_64 (7.3/8.0) is available for download via FTP.
Please see the README (x86, x86_64) for more information about this release.
Please note: This NVIDIA FreeBSD graphics driver release supports GeForce 6xxx and newer NVIDIA GPUs.
Please also note: If you encounter any problems with the 195.22 NVIDIA FreeBSD graphics driver release, please start a new thread and include a detailed description of the problem, reproduction steps and generate/attach an nvidia-bug-report.log file (please see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678 for details).
