nvidia-driver update for r310?

[ecd]

I've been anticipating the update of x11/nvidia-driver for the upstream r310 release which is supposed to have significant performance improvements. It was released in November 2012, but the port has not been updated and I haven't found any information online regarding the delay.

Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks

For this port is usually works just changing the version numbers in the Makefile.

Just change this:

DISTVERSION?=   304.64

to:

DISTVERSION?=   310.19

Then run:
# make makesum

The port should build and install fine after that. The delay is probably caused by the recent security breach and the release of 9.1.

Thanks. That seems to have worked well. Unfortunately, I did not experience any noticable performance increase as I hoped. Maybe upgrading to 9.1 will help.
