[pcbsdusr]

[Dingens]

[Dingens]

the nvidia site says that the 8762 support the geforce fx 5600xt.

-------------------------------------------------------

this driver should work for me, too.
Version: 1.0-8756
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html

on pbidir.com their is the a package called 8756 but it says:

Error: Incorrect kernel release for this driver. Please use another driver, or grab the source from http://www.nvidia.com.

but thsi driver should support fbsd 6.x
