+ AUTHOR: danfe@FreeBSD.org
+
+ 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.
