:Success! I managed to get my GeForce 4 MX to wok with the binary nvidia

:So please, test this if you have a nvidia GeForce type card and please
:report success to me.

:I also saw that the drm stuff from current was already included in
:dragonfly. Silly me :)

    I don't have a GeForce card I can test with right away, but something 
    is better then nothing.  Is there a FreeBSD port that this is based off
    of that we can modify or do we need to build a new dragonfly port?
