I guess it will come some day!

DragonFly and other BSDs don't have that luxury. -- Jean-Sébastien Pédron -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

There has never been a Nvidia binary driver for DragonFly. Nvidia support had also been getting worse and worse since xf86-video-nv was abandoned so naturally not many people in the DragonFly community bought Nvidia hardware and interest in Nouveau is relatively low. I played with it a bit but my hands are currently full updating and fixing the bugs in drm/i915 and the DragonFly Linux compatibility layer. -- Francois Tigeot

I guess I just interpreted it like that... Good luck!
