In case you wanted to use nvidia-driver with i386-wine{-devel}, please
have a look at this bug report:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245496

We have a conflict with nvidia-driver and i386-wine{-devel}. We have not
fixed it yet, but we have a workaround: install nvidia-driver AFTER
i386-wine{-devel} (and reinstall nvidia-driver each time you update
i386-wine{-devel}).
