+ AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-{driver, kmod}-devel variants
+ AUTHOR: junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp
+
+ x11/nvidia-driver-devel and x11-nvidia-kmod-devel are upgraded to
+ latest New Feature Branch [NFB] of upstream driver package.
+
+ This version drops support for a bunch of old (pre-Turing generations
+ of architecture) GPUs.
+
+ You can find still supported GPUs below.
+ https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/590.48.01/README/supportedchips.html
+
+ So anyone using -devel variants of related ports
+ x11/nvidia-kmod-devel
+ x11/nvidia-driver-devel
+ graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod-devel
+ x11/linux-nvidia-libs-devel
+ with dropped GPUs needs to switch to non-devel master ports.
+ x11/nvidia-kmod
+ x11/nvidia-driver
+ graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod
+ x11/linux-nvidia-libs
+
+ Deinstalling -devel variants above and reinstalling master ports
+ above would do the right things.
+
+ If any of above hesitates to upgrade with version conflicts
+ of graphics/eglexternalplatform, upgrade it first and retrying
+ failed ones should help.
+
+ At the same time, 580.* and 590.* series of drivers for FreeBSD
+ now work with 2 additional libraries installed via graphics/egl-x11.
+ This is now one of the dependencies of x11/nvidia-driver{-devel}.
+ It would be automatically pulled in on upgrades.
+
+ Note that new legacy branch -580 would be created once Production
+ Branch of upstream driver package switches to 590 series or later.
