> I would phrase it the other way around, Nvidia support for OpenBSD is very, very sad. Sure, in the case of the nvidia binary-blob driver, that's very fair. It's the same net effect to the end user, though. nvidia+OpenBSD is an instant failure. You can also blame nouveau relying on Linux KMS functionality, but I would like to see OpenBSD try a bit harder to run nouveau, given how ridiculously poor nv is. Really, nv is actually worse than nothing. I'd sooner run in VGA 640x480x16-color mode. It's that bad. > All that said, the BSDs, and OpenBSD in particular do not have ultimate video performance as a goal. I don't want ultimate performance to run Crysis (whatever # they are up to now) or Star Citizen or whatever is popular amongst gamers today. I want a frame buffer that will let me drag a window across the screen without deadlocking my system for 5-10 seconds. I appreciate their pain with these damned video card manufacturers, but I don't think my request is unreasonable, either. > you are best to stick with Intel or AMD graphics adapters AMD drivers are absolute shit on every other OS, so I don't expect them to be reliable under OpenBSD. And unfortunately, Intel won't sell PCIe cards. I really, really, really wish they would.
