Thanks for info, I'm sure there is no conspiracy in BSD developement, but
they sure keep they heads down in the nVidia camp. I mainly asked what are
the limitations of FreeBSD which block nvidia amd64 driver. It was nowhere
explicitly said that PAT is to blame. If this feature is finished, can we
expect the driver from nvidia?
