Been running linux/amd64 on my laptop now for close to a year with great success, problem is I really don't like the layout or O/S in general; would much rather have FreeBSD on this thing, but then I lose my graphics and my wireless LAN drivers :( - WLAN I hear may work though... so that leaves just the graphics driver; any ideas on an ETA, or even if such a driver is in the workings for FreeBSD/amd64 ? Running an nVidia GeForce4 420 Go 32Mb with vbios 04.17.20.43.25, using nvidia driver version Linux-amd64 1.0-7667 ... will there be any performance issue, or even the posibility of using the 32-bit (x86) nvidia driver for FreeBSD/x86 on FreeBSD/amd64, or am I doomed to stick with linux/amd64 unless I go back to FreeBSD/x86 ? -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/
