NVIDIA driver for FreeBSD under OpenBSD!

[YassBoss]

Hello,
I'm running OpenBSD 4.4 -Current, and I wish install the nvidia driver of FreeBSD.
I've installed the FreeBSD library and the fedora one, and I've enabled the emulation in the kernel, but without success...
I prefer to install the last one (180.29)
Best wishes..

I don't believe this is possible. The FreeBSD compat layer in OpenBSD is for userland binary compatibility and doesn't expend to kernel objects. There are a lot of differences between the FreeBSD and OpenBSD kernels, so I doubt even if you managed to get it to load the driver that it would be able to function correctly.

I doubt nvidia would put the time and effort into supporting OpenBSD, I can imagine the install base for desktop users is small even compared to FreeBSD desktop users. Plus there is a lot of history with the OpenBSD dev's dislike for binary blob drivers.

Your best shot is probably using the nv driver (http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/nv) that comes with your xserver, it may not be fully accellerated but it'll get you an X desktop running.
