Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been looking around for a card with decent 3d to replace my aging G200 and I've considered various NVidia cards. The problem is that all of the websites for FreeBSD on NV seem to have 3 common properties: 1. They apparently havn't been touched in months. 2. They claim 3D support "soon". 3. They have out of date or no actual code. All the code I've found is for patching old (sometimes a couple of revisions) Linux drivers. Patching the Linux drivers seems like a viable solution, but has this project died or is there some other secret website/mailing list somewhere where activity still flourishes? I've considered getting an ATI card instead, but I've been constantly disappointed with their Windows drivers (this is a dual boot machine). After being burned a few times I'm a little hesitant to go for the ATI solution. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
