New Revision: 421237
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/421237
Log:
- Mention that ``nvidia'' (or ``nvidia-modeset'' as of recently) can be put
on ``kld_list'' variable in /etc/rc.conf as well (for later loading)
- Make s/nvidia/nvidia-modeset/ replacement suggestion more accurate because
``.ko'' suffix is omitted in syntax for both of those files
- Improve UPDATING wording for corresponding 20160829 entry accordingly
