>Description:
	
The part in the FAQ that mentions the binary drivers from Nvidia is not correct.
It states that the last supported version of FreeBSD is 4.7, but the new drivers
support 4.9+ (STABLE) and 5.2.1+ (CURRENT). The attached patch fixes this.

 Attached is a slightly better patch.
 
 Any thoughts? The new drivers from Nvidia does not support 4.7, so I'd
 be happy if this got committed.

Grab this one; Joel, if you have time to do it, this patch could do with 
some changes as it mixes whitespace and content differences.  If not, 
don't stress: I'll get to it.
