NetBSD has preliminary support for NVIDIA hardware via the
`nouveau(4)`
DRM/KMS kernel driver ported from Linux 3.15, and all the same userland
components as for Linux -- the
`libdrm`
library, the
`libdrm_nouveau`
library, the
`xf86-video-nouveau`
X.org video driver, and the Mesa
`nouveau_dri.so`
GL driver.
On NetBSD 7, the kernel driver
`nouveau(4)`
is available on i386 and
amd64, but disabled by default. Most bug fixes are pulled up to the
netbsd-7 branch, The userland components are not
available in the standard distribution sets, though they are available
through pkgsrc in x11/xf86-video-nouveau and graphics/MesaLib.
On NetBSD-current, the kernel driver
`nouveau(4)`
is enabled by default
in the
`i386/GENERIC`
,
`amd64/GENERIC`
, and
`evbarm/TEGRA`
kernel
configurations. The userland components are available in the
distribution sets, spread across
`xbase.tgz`
,
`xcomp.tgz`
,
`xserver.tgz`
, and
`xdebug.tgz`
, or from pkgsrc in
`x11/xf86-video-nouveau`
and
`graphics/MesaLib`
.
Some hardware has been tested, but I don't have a list of it at the
moment. If the display blanks or otherwise fails when you try to boot
with NVIDIA graphics hardware, you can disable
`nouveau(4)`
at the boot
prompt by booting with
`boot -c`
and then typing
`disable nouveau`
and
`quit`
at the following userconf prompt:
> boot -c
userconf> disable nouveau
userconf> quit
