Hello all,
I hope this is the right list for my question. Anyway, could someone
tell me what the status/future plans are for NVIDIA on DragonFlyBSD
(proprietary or Nouveau)? I am very interested in using it as my
desktop OS, but unfortunately have an NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti. All of my
other hardware works great, and I love HAMMER. I am about to pull the
trigger on buying an ATI card, but I have noticed that nvidia-settings
is in the dports tree on github, and I believe it is only useful for
the
proprietary driver, so I thought I'd ask first. I hope this question
isn't inappropriate to ask as a user.
Thanks for your time!
Using a NVIDIA card with an NVIDIA driver is not an option, and there
is
no anticipated change to this situation in the outlook. The
nvidia-settings port is therefore useless (it was added automatically,
not manually with reason).

John,
Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly. If you wouldn't
mind, could you recommend what the newest fully supported AMD Radeon
cards/series for DragonFlyBSD are? I apologize to keep bothering you
with this, it's just that as I search the mailing list a lot of the
posts are older and may not be relevant for the current release, so I
want to be sure before I buy anything. Thanks again, I truly appreciate
all of the work you and the other devs have put in.
