Any hope to have things requested by NVidia in FreeBSD-7?

Hello,

This discussion gets over and over again actually, no the required
support is not yet there. There is a wiki page which denotes what
is required to get this going.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/NvidiaFeatureRequests

If you desperately need this, then consider funding someone
(this has popped up before, it's interesting to arrange something
like this because you need a trustable intermediating party that
can arrange this, the FreeBSD Foundation is currently not able
to do so as far as I can recall); who will do the work for you
or do it yourself.

There is currently no other way to get the support you want.

Thanks,
remko
