I read long time ago that the reason that NVidia can't have their driver on
64-bit platform is that FreeBSD kernel lacks some functionality.
Is this functionality present in 7.0? Or when to expect this to be done?
I have NVidia card but still run 32-bit system because of lack of driver.

Hello,
This discussion gets over and over again actually, no the required
support is not yet there. There is a wiki page which denotes what
is required to get this going.
http://wiki.freebsd.org/NvidiaFeatureRequests
If you desperately need this, then consider funding someone
(this has popped up before, it's interesting to arrange something
like this because you need a trustable intermediating party that
can arrange this, the FreeBSD Foundation is currently not able
to do so as far as I can recall); who will do the work for you
or do it yourself.
There is currently no other way to get the support you want.
Thanks,
remko
Remko - relax :)
The wiki isn't really an obvious place for people to look. If we don't
already we should have a page on "popular hardware with support
issues".

Can't there be something added such as an easy to search for FAQ so
this topic doesn't come up 2-7 times per month? I know people should use
a search engine and search for the information first, but people seem
extremely lazy and always ask current@, hackers@, and questions@,
amongst other lists I'm sure..
Thanks,
