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 does 'never had anythingto do with the GPL' make them suck? They're releasing drivers for a GPL and BSD-licensed OS, that's not good enough for you?

    Sorry, I guess you're one of those people who will never be happy until no one anywhere can make any money off of any software or anything related to software. Nevermind.

    I hate to say it, but that is precisely why I use Nvidia based cards in my computers. Their hardware may not be the best, and they won't open the specs for the cards, but at least I can get full functionality out of my video card under FreeBSD and Linux.

    If ATI ever supports non-MS operating systems the same way or better than Nvidia, I may consider purchasing one of their cards.
