| X Server 1.7.3 corrects a break in the 
| build system and the second bug is an ABI 
| compatibility problem. X Server 1.7.4 will 
| then end up being what 1.7.3 was supposed 
| to be, about five weeks from now.

NVIDIA 64-bit FreeBSD Graphics Driver Found

,----[ Quote ]
| NVIDIA's announcement just makes note of 
| the 32-bit FreeBSD driver but does not 
| mention any 64-bit *BSD support. NVIDIA 
| though has told us they will deliver a 64-
| bit FreeBSD driver before year's end. 
| NVIDIA is only able to finally deliver a 
| 64-bit FreeBSD driver now thanks to mmap() 
| extension improvements in FreeBSD 8.0.
