--00504502c7a2795468047a21e1da Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi all nvidia posted a beta version of their amd64 X11 driver [1]. This 'accelerated' driver supports recent RELENG_7_2, RELENG_7 and 8.0 RELEASE and above. It also requires a recent nvidia card (Geforce 6 series or above). For ease of testing, I've modified the port x11/nvidia-driver to allow it to be installed through ports (see attached patch). The patch is quite hacky (wont work on non amd64 systems for a start). OpenGL, VDPAU, Twinview etc should all work correctly. There have even been reports of someone successfully running WoW in wine, in a i386 chroot with this driver[2]. Now all I need is a working build of mplayer with vdpau support :) Cheers Tom [1] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142120 [2] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2136052&postcount=471 --00504502c7a2795468047a21e1da Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="patch-ports::x11::nvidia-driver.diff.txt" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="patch-ports::x11::nvidia-driver.diff.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 X-Attachment-Id: f_g2x63gp80 SW5kZXg6IE1ha2VmaWxlCj09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09 PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT0KUkNTIGZpbGU6IC9ob21lL25jdnMvcG9ydHMveDEx L252aWRpYS1kcml2ZXIvTWFrZWZpbGUsdgpyZXRyaWV2aW5nIHJldmlzaW9uIDEuOTMKZGlmZiAt dSAtcjEuOTMgTWFrZWZpbGUKLS0tIE1ha2VmaWxlCTI5IFNlcCAyMDA5IDEzOjI1OjI1IC0wMDAw CTEuOTMKKysrIE1ha2VmaWxlCTYgRGVjIDIwMDkgMjE6MDE6MTUgLTAwMDAKQEAgLTYsMTggKzYs MTYgQEAKICMKIAogUE9SVE5BTUU9CW52aWRpYS1kcml2ZXIKLURJU1RWRVJTSU9OPz0JMTg1LjE4 LjM2CitESVNUVkVSU0lPTj89CTE5NS4yMgogUE9SVFJFVklTSU9OPz0JMAkJCSMgQXMgYSByZW1p bmRlciBpdCBjYW4gYmUgb3ZlcnJpZGRlbgogQ0FURUdPUklFUz0JeDExIGtsZAogTUFTVEVSX1NJ VEVTPQkke01BU1RFUl9TSVRFX05WSURJQX0KLU1BU1RFUl9TSVRFX1NVQkRJUj0JZnJlZWJzZC8k e0RJU1RWRVJTSU9OfQotRElTVE5BTUU9CU5WSURJQS1GcmVlQlNELXg4Ni0ke0RJU1RWRVJTSU9O fQorTUFTVEVSX1NJVEVfU1VCRElSPQlYRnJlZTg2L0ZyZWVCU0QteDg2XzY0LyR7RElTVFZFUlNJ T059CitESVNUTkFNRT0JTlZJRElBLUZyZWVCU0QteDg2XzY0LSR7RElTVFZFUlNJT059CiAKIE1B SU5UQUlORVI9CWRhbmZlQEZyZWVCU0Qub3JnCiBDT01NRU5UPQlOVmlkaWEgZ3JhcGhpY3MgY2Fy ZCBiaW5hcnkgZHJpdmVycyBmb3IgaGFyZHdhcmUgT3BlbkdMIHJlbmRlcmluZwogCi1PTkxZX0ZP Ul9BUkNIUz0JaTM4NgotCiBOT19QQUNLQUdFPQlzaG91bGQgYmUgcmVjb21waWxlZCBmb3IgYSBw YXJ0aWN1bGFyIEZyZWVCU0Qga2VybmVsCiBVU0VfR0w9CQlnbAogVVNFX0xEQ09ORklHPQl5ZXMK SW5kZXg6IGRpc3RpbmZvCj09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09 PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT09PT0KUkNTIGZpbGU6IC9ob21lL25jdnMvcG9ydHMveDEx L252aWRpYS1kcml2ZXIvZGlzdGluZm8sdgpyZXRyaWV2aW5nIHJldmlzaW9uIDEuMzMKZGlmZiAt dSAtcjEuMzMgZGlzdGluZm8KLS0tIGRpc3RpbmZvCTI5IFNlcCAyMDA5IDEzOjI1OjI1IC0wMDAw CTEuMzMKKysrIGRpc3RpbmZvCTYgRGVjIDIwMDkgMjE6MDE6NDkgLTAwMDAKQEAgLTEsMTIgKzEs MyBAQAotTUQ1IChOVklESUEtRnJlZUJTRC14ODYtMTg1LjE4LjM2LnRhci5neikgPSBmZWZmNGRh NzlhOGMzYTJmMTk0ZjQ2Yzk1YzU0NWFkYgotU0hBMjU2IChOVklESUEtRnJlZUJTRC14ODYtMTg1 LjE4LjM2LnRhci5neikgPSA4OTBiOTU0M2QzYzgxYmNjYzcyZDYwYzY1MzY0N2E3MTljOTAzN2Y4 ZmM3YTg4MTQ0YTE4YjJhMDEyZmJkNGE3Ci1TSVpFIChOVklESUEtRnJlZUJTRC14ODYtMTg1LjE4 LjM2LnRhci5neikgPSAxOTI0NTU1MAotTUQ1IChOVklESUEtRnJlZUJTRC14ODYtMTczLjE0LjIw LnRhci5neikgPSA1NDg2OTQyOGJhZWU4ODc4YzA0YzE5NzUxYTJhODA0NwotU0hBMjU2IChOVklE SUEtRnJlZUJTRC14ODYtMTczLjE0LjIwLnRhci5neikgPSBjNWEyNzMyNGQ5NjM5MWFkYTQxYjRj Y2JiZjJhMzIxYzNkODY2OTNlNTRkMWU5ZDExMzlkOTdjMzEzMjUzMGYzCi1TSVpFIChOVklESUEt RnJlZUJTRC14ODYtMTczLjE0LjIwLnRhci5neikgPSAxNjIxMTIxOAotTUQ1IChOVklESUEtRnJl ZUJTRC14ODYtOTYuNDMuMTMudGFyLmd6KSA9IGE5YmJjYzdkMGJhYjZmYTNmZDY0ZGQ3OTUyYjE0 ZTU0Ci1TSEEyNTYgKE5WSURJQS1GcmVlQlNELXg4Ni05Ni40My4xMy50YXIuZ3opID0gNjE0Mzk2 YTExYWI4YjMwNGM1MTcyMWNkNGI0N2ZiODJhNWY3NTg4NGZmNzdkM2Q0MTRlMGU1NzM5ODM1Yzcz OAotU0laRSAoTlZJRElBLUZyZWVCU0QteDg2LTk2LjQzLjEzLnRhci5neikgPSAxMTA1NzE5Mwot TUQ1IChOVklESUEtRnJlZUJTRC14ODYtNzEuODYuMTEudGFyLmd6KSA9IDVmNDE0ZWUyOTdiZmYw ZDllNzBlM2NlNDM3ZWZkYmViCi1TSEEyNTYgKE5WSURJQS1GcmVlQlNELXg4Ni03MS44Ni4xMS50 YXIuZ3opID0gOWY3ZGZiYjhhY2RjNDZiZWUzYzlkZDhhNmNhMzM5OTk0NmY5NjEyMGUxOTZiZjQ5 YjQ4NGJhY2IzNzk2YWVkZAotU0laRSAoTlZJRElBLUZyZWVCU0QteDg2LTcxLjg2LjExLnRhci5n eikgPSA4MDIzNDYxCitNRDUgKE5WSURJQS1GcmVlQlNELXg4Nl82NC0xOTUuMjIudGFyLmd6KSA9 IGM5YjBjZGViNjhkNTczNTU2YTM4ZTE2YzAyZmZlZDU1CitTSEEyNTYgKE5WSURJQS1GcmVlQlNE LXg4Nl82NC0xOTUuMjIudGFyLmd6KSA9IDNhNmEwZmMzMDAzNjE1YzA3MDkwYzA0ZjJkNWI0MWZh ODZjZjg0OTMzMDliZjQ4ZWZmOGJjYWEzNzEyNjUwOGMKK1NJWkUgKE5WSURJQS1GcmVlQlNELXg4 Nl82NC0xOTUuMjIudGFyLmd6KSA9IDI1NTAzNjE4Cg== --00504502c7a2795468047a21e1da--
