The x11/nvidia-driver is the one written by nvidia which only works on i386 and supports 3d, compiz etc. > 2) "noveau" driver; written by third parties, works for i386 > and amd64 (maybe for others).

CUDA on nVidia GPGPUs and Streams/Brook on ATi GPGPUs are not currently supported under FreeBSD. An engineering professor friend of mine has one of nVidia's Tesla cards and full CUDA support under Windows XP. He says that the same driver works for both the Tesla and his CUDA-enabled nVidia graphics card, as well as the nVidia IGP in his laptop's motherboard. Somewhere on the web--possibly on nVidia's web site, but I don't remember anymore--we found something that seemed to say that the LINUX version of the driver *also* contains the CUDA support for nVidia GPGPUs. If the FreeBSD driver is substantially a port of the LINUX driver, then it's quite likely that the CUDA support is/will be still in it. Another hassle, according to my friend, is that the CUDA support under Windows uses only the Intel C compiler. :-( What is definitely not available at present for FreeBSD is the rest of the CUDA support, namely, a CUDA compiler, a C compiler with hooks for CUDA, and any associated libraries. I have not so far seen any comparable information regarding Streams driver support on ATi GPGPUs for FreeBSD, much less anything about Brook for FreeBSD. The last time I checked, which was a few months ago, there were *no* implementations of OpenCL. My understanding is that there is now some sort of "standard" for it that has been agreed upon by all parties involved, but that there remains no published language definition/reference from which compilers, etc. might be written for the GPGPUs of both of the major GPU manufacturers. So if you're waiting for OpenCL for FreeBSD, don't hold your breath, stand on narrow ledges far above ground, and so forth while waiting. Scott Bennett, Comm.

If it's me, that needs to get fixed. You're confused on more than one level because this thread is not about graphics drivers, however: nv is the basic open-source x11 driver provided with xorg, it has poor 2-d performance and no 3-d support, nouveau is a open-source fork from nv that aims to improve performance and add 3-d support. nvidia is the the proprietary binary provided by nvidia, it's been around for years, but nvidia were not prepared to release an amd64 version until FreeBSD provided certain features in the kernel. Those features will be in 8.0, so nvidia are now working on an amd64 version. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

There was a posting within the last 24 hours on one of the
FreeBSD mailing lists that pointed to a post indicating nVidia is
working on native {i386, amd64} drivers. The post was dated
November 5th; it provided no expected release date beyond "when it's
