I recently verified that RELENG_7 and RELENG_8 kernels work as advertised with respect to the new features. As to status: at this point, native FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 NVIDIA graphics drivers work on both platforms, as do OpenGL applications native to them; FreeBSD/i386 OpenGL applications also run on FreeBSD/amd64. Further, with a recent set of Linuxulator mmap() fixes, Linux/x86 OpenGL applications work on both FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64.

It shouldn't be long now, but I can't give you a date for a public BETA driver release. We do not have any plans to support Hybrid SLI on Linux, Solaris or FreeBSD at this time.
