However, nVidia have already said that due to internal implementation details of the FreeBSD amd64 kernel, they're unable to produce an amd64 driver just yet. There was some discussion of it a while ago - check out the archives for more details and links. I don't recall if it was this list, or amd64@ so try them both.

Re: FreeBSD7 - PAE and nVidia
Thanks for the info. Also from what I can see PAE does not support USB. The reason why I am using i386 is because I'm not going to sacrifice my gaming :-) which means nvidia. Thanks David p.s. I'm volunteering to do any testing for an amd64 version of the nvidia driver...

FreeBSD7 - PAE and nVidia
Hi, I have googled, looked though the mailing archives and the FreeBSD Handbook but I have not found out how to build a PAE FreeBSD kernel with nVidia graphics drivers included. This is for an Asus P5N-E system with 4GB of RAM and SLI graphics cards. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
