realy pretty useless already and people trying to use it just generate PRs
and messages to this list. It's unfortunate that Nouveau has become so
Linux-centric that is is  not viable as a FreeBSD driver, but that is
really water under the bridge and, by all reports, the proprietary driver
works quite well for most nvidia hardware. (I no longer have a working
nVidia device, so I am really just kibitzing.)
