FreeBSD AMD64 Nvidia driver

November 6th, 2009

We are really close to have a FreeBSD amd64 driver for Nvidia graphical boards.
You can read progresses on this post.

Christian Zander, a Software Engineer at Nvidia, said:
“at this point, native FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 NVIDIA graphics drivers work on both platforms, as do OpenGL applications native to them; FreeBSD/i386 OpenGL applications also run on FreeBSD/amd64. Further, with a recent set of Linuxulator mmap() fixes, Linux/x86 OpenGL applications work on both FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64.”

Well, great news!
He couldn’t give a date for public BETA driver release, tough. :(

Thank you Zander and FreeBSD hackers, especially John Baldwin, to make this possibile.
