NVidia 6600 GT

[Jason Henson]

Hello,

i have a nvidia 6600 GT (AGP) which I would like to use on my freebsd
workstation (5.3-STABLE). Currently this card does not seem to be  
supported in
xorg with nv and the driver from nvidia has not been updated for a  
while (the
linux version of this driver supports my card).
Is there any hope for me in the near future? For the moment, I stay  
with my
Geforce 2.


Thanks a lot,
                         -- Olivier


Ok, just to let you know you should not count on the nv driver for new  
stuff since nvidia is taking care of it.  I have given you the 2 links  
to explain everything.  And to your question of hope in the future,  
your hopes were filled 17 Aug 2004 12:54:09.  Just a matter of knowing  
where to look I guess? :)
