Re: How to blacklist the nouveau driver on FreeBSD....

Can you figure out a method to do what I want to do ? If we are able to
"connect" the nVidia driver to the CG / graphic tool instead of the nouveau
one,a lot of cool features will be unfrozen. For example we could try to
run Unreal Engine 5 within the linuxulator,Davinci Resolve,Maya 3d,a lot of
cool stuff will use the nvidia driver and it will work great.
