New FreeBSD NVIDIA Drivers Available

Posted by timothy on from the oh-4365-at-last dept.

CoolVibe writes "Finally, the officieal Nvidia drivers for FreeBSD have been updated to version 4365. The drivers are available at Nvidia's website. They are not in the ports yet, but that won't take very long. Also, this driver supports both STABLE and CURRENT officially. I am using them at the moment, and boy, these fix many problems I had with the older ones."

    How is nvidia violating gpl?
    They release their drivers as non-free software, and they have never had anything to do with the GPL, which means they suck even more, but they are not violating anything.

      Except the Linux compatibility layer will be illegal thanks to SCO :( Oh well, time for native BSD ports of commercial games :)
