    To all my fellow FreeBSD users,

    I assume I am not the only one who is in this predicament. I have just bought
    seven AMD 64s with NVIDIA PCI-X graphics. With 5.4 I can get everything bar
    the network and X to work, with 6.0 I can get the network to work also.
    However no matter what I do I can't get X to work.

    Why doesn't NVIDIA make a graphics driver for FreeBSD AMD64. They make one for
    Linux x86-64 and one for FreeBSD-x86.

    Perhaps would could all post a message on nvforum. I see some people already
    have.....

    Perhaps NVIDIA think FreeBSD is just a hobby OS......

    Brett
