Just wanted to know one item ... I've been running my Nvidia 8600GTS as a
Vesa drivered card, becaused I didn't ahve the time to do a good job of
porting their driver to current.  Well, the time finally opened up for me,
so I ported it, and wouldn't you know it, it really wasn't all that hard to
begin with, so I now have the Nvidia card working nicely.

Seeing as their supplied driver code is liberally laced with comments about
it not running for FreeBSD-current, I was wondering if this'd been ported
to current before me, or if it was an item that would be worth my time to
fix it up neat, as a port, maybe.  If a bunch of folks have their Nvidia
cards working as a FreeBSD-native-binary (NOT Linux-binary), and for
FreeBSD-current (doing it for earlier versions is what Nvidia already
distributes), then say so, and I could just worry about other things.  If
not, then I gotta worry about getting the changes back to Nvidia, and to
the port.  The only one I know works, for really certain, is my 8600GTS.

Let me know.  If you want the files sooner than I can crank the port out,
drop me a line, maybe I could charge you  an arm 'n'a'leg for it, huh?

That was my poor try at humor, don't start quoting licenses at me, OK?.
