	nVidia is perfectly aware their chips aren't supported.  It clains
to be willing to write - and maintain - drivers ...
	... provided FreeBSD makes some chages in the kernel.  For more

	+Christian +nVidia +"John Baldwin"

	and click on the first result.  I am uqualified to opine on how
much work these changes would take, beyond this being Really Serious
