NVidia i386 Driver on FreeBSD AMD64

Hello everyone,

NVidia currently seems not wanting to make binary drivers for
FreeBSD/AMD64. Some time ago somebody at nvnews.net started a thread in
their forum with the plea for drivers for AMD64, the URL is

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=41545

Maybe it helps if many people post there and tell the guys at NVidia
that there really is need for these certain drivers.

Thanks for listening,

Ulrik

| This message doesn't lie -- we don't support mixed-mode objects. Solaris
