In fact, that was the problem we (DragonFly) run into back in the early
days. Getting the kernel module to work as one issue. But as soon as the
libc ABI divergated from the FreeBSD (4.x) ABI and the latter the 5.x
only libGL, all things were lost. In short, the libGL is more painful
part of the nvidia blob...
