Hello, I am aware that currently 3D accelerated support for Nvidia cards is not possible on the amd64 platform. My understanding is Nvidia (in 2006) requested some changes to the kernel that will improve performance,and ultimately provide support to the amd64 platform. the status of these changes can be found here http://wiki.freebsd.org/NvidiaFeatureRequests what I am confused about is how complex is the nature of these requests? is it realistic to think they will be MFC'ed to FreeBSD 7.x or will they have to be in 8.x ? assuming the changes outlined here http://wiki.freebsd.org/NvidiaFeatureRequests are completed would the Features and performance be on par with Linux Eg. FC8 ? I am hoping someone could explain these questions. Thank you Much Sam Fourman Jr. Sam Fourman Jr.
