20050630:
Due to several complaints, new (unsupported) option had been added to port Makefile: WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT. Starting with version 7667, NVidia has dropped support for numerous "legacy" GPUs, while this option allows to go with previous version of driver (this does not apply to older versions of FreeBSD, since you have to use version 6113 of driver (if you did not yet upgraded to FreeBSD 5.3 or later) which has support for those GPUs).
If you must use WITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT option, be sure to ``hold'' the package by making appropriate entry in your pkgtools.conf, otherwise portupgrade(1) will upgrade your port to latest NVidia release on the next run, which is probably not what you want.
Refer to x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile for further details.
