However, our Developer Relations team actively supports 3rd party LINUX/XFree86 developers by supplying technical information and software development kits. I believe the ATI driver is open-sourced so it is relatively easy to port to FreeBSD which someone has already done. Well, full support will take time since they are developed by someone. I subscribe to DRI mailing list and there seems to be alot of work going on for Radeon cards. > I guess they will eventually. Many people have asked > for it and they said > they'd do it.

There is a website http://nvidia.netexplorer.org/ that is dedicated to ask Nvidia to release a driver for FreeBSD. > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
