Wanted to ask, maybe somebody here knows, is there any hope to expect 64 bit Nvidia drivers in some reasonable future? What is the problem with Nvidia? Why they do not provide 64 bit drivers?

For the same reason they don't provide up-to-date i386 drivers. This is a recurring thread; please search the mailing list archives. (Hint: try Zander nvidia as a search term.)

Nvidia drivers. Wanted to ask, maybe somebody here knows, is there any hope to expect 64 bit Nvidia drivers in some reasonable future? What is the problem with Nvidia? Why they do not provide 64 bit drivers? because there are not enough pressure from clients?

(by not buying them) They missing some things in the kernel of FreeBSD so it has nothing to do with nvidia not willing it is FreeBSD who lacks support in the kernel for a 64bit NVIDIA driver. But like said before there are numoures threads about this. Regards, Johan Hendriks No virus found in this outgoing message.
