No, people getting this problem are using i386 on an AMD 64 (there is no nvidia driver for amd64, you have to use the open source nv driver). The problem, as I understand it, is that neither the FreeBSD nor the NVidia AGP driver works with the nvidia driver on some AMD 64s. Consequently you don't get the full data transfer rate of the AGP slot. Personally I don't see any consequnces of this, for example OpenGL works perfectly well on Quake 2. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
