It used to be, that nvidia-driver did not work with PAE-kernels on FreeBSD...

I have a machine with 8Gb of RAM, but the video-card, that's considered "legacy" by NVidia -- and no amd64-ready driver will work with it...

To be able to use the card, I must stay with FreeBSD/i386. Without PAE, this means, not using half of the available RAM...

Is PAE still a no-no? Thanks!
