That should take you to here (for the 169.12 release) http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html The 9xxx chips do not seem to be supported yet. 8800 is the max as far as I can see. They may be supported soon, but maybe not. If the laptop is widescreen and you are going to be running FreeBSD on it, don't get it until the driver supports the graphics card. Unless you can test the laptop first with a FreeBSD live-cd and check for sure, you will probably not be able to run the monitor with a widescreen resolution. -Mark C.
