LKM NVidia Drivers Now Available For NetBSD

Posted by timothy on from the pop-in-pop-out dept.

Dan writes "Quentin Garnier has made a loadable kernel module (LKM) version of the NVidia drivers on NetBSD. This release is very preliminary, rough and mostly meant to test the installation procedure. You will need a NetBSD-current system but the downloadable drivers code itself should be quite backward compatible with some caveats. For example, you need 'options KVM86' in your kernel config. His NVidia drivers on NetBSD page indicates that known working hardware includes RIVA TNT2 Model 64 (PCI), GeForce2 MX/MX 400, Vanta(AGP) and more!"

    FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.

    Heh, good one. Did you know that Linus Torvalds blows goats? I have proof.
