Without those <sarcasm>insightful plays on the word 'Microsoft'</sarcasm> one typically only manages to produce an asinine off-topic comment.
Just some hints for the future, your mileage may vary, all standard disclaimers apply.
Thank you for not choosing Microsoft... meanwhile, back on topic:
This is great news for the FreeBSD community. One of the complaints against the OS and long sought-after milestones has been graphics drivers for desktop applications, design work, and even gaming. FreeBSD, like most other OSes, isn't just for servers, and this helps make it better for the desktop.
nVidia always impresses me with their efforts to support operating systems other than the 500 lb Redmond gorilla that dominates the desktop market. Linux and FreeBSD support is a great PR move for nVidia, and is one of the reasons I will ALWAYS choose nVidia over ATi, Matrox, etc.

1) You need a chmod 0666 on
2) Atlantis mode (xlock) is my desktop background. Hi shark. Please do not eat my menu.
3) The artifacts left behind by the XFree86 nv driver are no longer there. I believe that XFree86 v4.3 is supposed to fix this.
Now, I need to go find some games. Time to try out UT.
