For the first time this year, NVIDIA has officially published new Linux and Solaris display drivers for their GeForce and Quadro products. These drivers, versioned 1.0-8756, bring a couple new features such as GeForce 7600/7900 support as well as a new nvidia-auto-select program. This does mark their first alternative OS official release in nearly four months. No FreeBSD equivalent of these 1.0-8756 drivers are currently available. Phoronix takes a look at these new drivers.

The new level of support for GLX and Composite working nicely in parallel is a much welcomed improvement over the last Composite-, Render- and GLX-offerings in the nvidia-driver. It opens the door for new visual tricks yet a bit more. Even without Xgl/compiz/AIGLX. I've started to toy around with that a bit myself... http://macslow.thepimp.net/?p=40
It's still a bit awkward to work with it, but the result is worth the effort imo.
Best regards...
