Hi, This thread move from mail list to mail list last 2 years. Already few developers pointed out, that they are not interested in writing code (that will allow nvidia to write amd64 driver). But all of them pointed out that they will be interested if there is a money reward for example :) FreeBSD is voluntary project, and does have nothing to do with democracy or other political things. The only way someone cable of doing the job to do it actually is to make him interested. Pay to a developer(s) and he/they will do the job. It was already discussed that FreeBSD foundation cannot sponsor such project, so someone else have to start collecting payments and sponsoring developers. NVIDIA doesn't seems interested in sponsoring such project too. I think there are enough "open project foundation" that are able to accept donations and then fund this project. You do not have to be a developer or hacker or some kind of GURU to do this. All it wants is to spend some time and to find how to unite others like you, that want nvidia driver for amd64. Unite them to donate money and hire a developer to do the job. If the interest for NVIDIA amd64 driver is so huge, all interested should spend 2$ or 3$ every month to fund such project. But first of all spent time to organizing this, and do not waste time on petitions. Show us that you are really interested! -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177Received on Tue Dec 18 2007 - 11:26:08 UTC
