Hey Guys,

That driver is in 8.1 by default. Otherwise you would have to "register"
the driver in our xorg-gui tool in /usr/PCBSD/xorg-gui/settings.

Also, you would need to place the working freebsd package file (.tbz) in
the /usr/PCBSD/packages/<arch>/ directory.

However, if you've already installed and are using the newer driver,
that may be just fine and you don't need to jiggle the xorg-gui tool,
unless you plan on using it a lot again.
