nVidia uses a common core for all their drivers so FreeBSD code is essentially wrapping that.
This is is where the Linux griping actually come from - they don't rewrite their driver when kernel decides to rethink their graphics stack.
- PlutoIsAPlanet 3y agoThey're even moving most of the kernel-space driver code to the chip on-board the GPU now (see GSP) and having the kernel driver talk to that.
- pbir 3y agoPretty soon NUCs and RPis with external GPUs will be common. I look forward to never fitting those fiddly power LED/switch wires ever again. Tons of nostalgia for having been there, done that but that’s all it is; fiddling with nostalgia. It’s a hardware dark pattern.
