Hi!

I'm now running 304.43 on my system. I have 9-STABLE here.

This is the hardware:

nvidia0: <NVS 300> on vgapci0

I see no regression, everything works as usual.

I never did any performance testing, but it does not seem any slower.
Don't know if it is faster than before.

Acceleration seems ok. I tested it with games/0ad, which is quite heavy
on 3D.

If you need any checks or tests, please tell me and I'll try to do them.

Thanks for you work on the nvidia driver!
