    I have looked at the web cvs sources as well as my own form this weeks
    current and I would like to know if someone smarter than me could import
    the new drivers for agpgart support. I have been running in pci mode
    since I bought my board and would like to do some gaming without
    windows. I have looked at the source code and I could rewrite the
    driver myself, but I know it would not run for some time because I would
    screw it up with my lack of experence. If anyone else is intrested you
    can download the source code for linux from www.nvidia.com for both 386
    and AMD64 platforms. As far as I can tell the people at nvidia have not
    have not yet split the video card and chipset drivers apart for freebsd,
    so people like me with ati video cards on a nforce board have no 3d
    without porting the linux stuff. There is also code for audio and lan
    drivers in the source also if anyone is interested.
