just wondering how well the nvidia drivers are supported on laptops / desktops ..
The box I'm on now has a Nvidia Quadro 1000M with Optimus Technology and is supported out-of-the-box. I have installed FreeBSD on it before but issues with scrambled install screens and screen resolution once I hit the desktop made OpenBSD more attractive at the time IMO. I have 2 others that use Nvidia Quadro NVS 140 that work well, though all of them are Win7 era machines and not new hardware.
Optimus supported out of the box? OpenBSD more attractive desktop with Nvidia? I'm going to need more detail on these. Out of the box, so you didn't install the binary nvidia drivers and were using the vesa driver?
OpenBSD never had the install screen issue and when I hit the desktop it was at the correct resolution with no tweaking necessary before moving on to what needed done. I don't recall needing to specify a driver during the build but I have a screenshot of it running OpenBSD and FreeBSD:
It's a pure software solution and doesn't have any hardware components.
but does it really not have any hardware (i.e some connection between GPUs) to facilitate this?
Grabbing data from the GPU is fairly slow; would this not be an issue each frame?
