Hey, I'm listening ;)

NVidia doesn't seem to have interest in NetBSD either, a really native
NetBSD port of their driver won't happen any time soon. And since the
FreeBSD driver is still the beta one from November, we can assume their
interest in FreeBSD is also very limited.

In the mean time, no patch of the XFree86 4.3.0 binary is required to run
the FreeBSD driver under NetBSD. Only a kernel patch. Isn't that less
awful ?
