Hey, I never said that !

There has never been a Nvidia binary driver for DragonFly.

Nvidia support had also been getting worse and worse since xf86-video-nv 
was abandoned so naturally not many people in the DragonFly community 
bought Nvidia hardware and interest in Nouveau is relatively low.

I played with it a bit but my hands are currently full updating and 
fixing the bugs in drm/i915 and the DragonFly Linux compatibility layer.
