[kde-freebsd] New beta nVidia driver 177.70 and KDE4

[Matt]

Nvidia has a relatively new beta binary driver available for FreeBSD
as described at:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118603

I noticed last night that there is also a performance tuning guide for
this driver version on Linux at:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=118088

The steps shown on this Linux tuning guide (two new Xorg config
options and two nvidia-settings options) appear to work for the
FreeBSD driver as well (although I don't have new enough hardware to
test the GlyphCache setting).  Running with these new settings today
has resulted it what appears to be greatly improved performance in KDE
4.1 with desktop effects enabled.

Hope that helps.
