First: I have been using nvidia-driver-295.49 since 11 May, and I have
not observed the above at all. Indeed; I've been happy with the update.
I am running FreeBSD/i386; I run stable/8, stable/9, and head (on
different slices), updated daily. (As of this morning, running
each at r236141. I also update all installed ports daily ("portmaster
-da --index").) Since I use a common /usr/local, I build my ports
under stable/8, though I rebuild x11/nvidia-driver each time I
rebuild the kernel (usually, 3x/day), and that is built under the
OS I'm running at the time.
My graphics card is identified as: NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 770M (G96GL).
Recently, I "cloned" my stable/9 slice & rebuilt it using clang, and
everything still works Just Fine -- including x11/nvidia-driver.
So, at least in my case, I respectfully disagree with the assessment in
the Subject.
Peace,
david
