I refer to this page here: http://people.freebsd.org/~3d/apps/games/unreal_tournament/ What is the driver mentioned here? Incidentally, what is the difference between linux and bsd drivers? The drivers in question are manufacturers binaries for linux in an RPM; hence the question. Plus I came across several notations regarding building or using drivers from linux in bsd (linux-kmod-compat port, the above link, and more). For reference I'm merely very curious, not argumentative on this. Cheers for any answers offered.
