i believe the general answer is a definative maybe. but honestly, do you
really care enough to try? it seems like an awful lot of trouble just to
use a dead end binary only driver that will doom you to an eternity of
working around bugs since you can't fix them. if you want real 3d on
FreeBSD go buy a 3dfx card or something else that actually has real open
drivers. it's a hundred bucks for a VooDoo3. that's less than the
programmer time to make the NVidia drivers work is worth, and you can
actually be sure you'll have some kind of success, where the NVidia stuff
is really up in the air.
