Re: Nvidia driver for netbsd?

Hi Nikita,

Some nVidia GPUs work fine with NetBSD using the reverse-engineered
nouveau driver.

Here's the relevant output for my nVidia GTX 770:

with glxgears, I get:

20307 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4061.316 FPS
20365 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4072.949 FPS

It could be better, but I haven't noticed any deficiencies in my daily
use of NetBSD.
