Release Highlights:
Fixed a problem that caused TV output on secondary TVs to be black and white on some GPUs.
Improved nvidia-xconfig behavior when updating X configuration files without a "Module" section.
Added initial support for FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE.
The 96.43.07 NVIDIA Accelerated FreeBSD Graphics Driver Set for FreeBSD/i386 is available for download via HTTP (http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_display_96.43.07.html).
Please see the README (ftp://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/96.43.07/README/index.html) for more information about this release.
If you are using FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE or a more recent FreeBSD 6.x release, please make sure that the compat5x-i386 package is installed.
Note that the gtk-2.x ports package(s) shipped with FreeBSD releases > 5.3-RELEASE are binary incompatible with those shipped with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE; due to this, the `nvidia-settings` binary shipped with 96.43.07 will not work on FreeBSD > 5.3-RELEASE. This problem can be solved by (re-)building `nvidia-settings` from source:
# fetch ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-96.43.07.tar.gz
# tar zxf nvidia-settings-96.43.07.tar.gz
# cd nvidia-settings-1.0
# gmake
# install nvidia-settings /usr/X11R6/bin
