This is being pulled in because you have VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia in |
| 6 |
/etc/make.conf. If you want only the opensource nv driver, you want |
| 7 |
"VIDEO_CARDS=nv" instead. |

The nv driver does not support DRI (eg, no 3D hardware acceleration), |
| 14 |
so opengl applications are going to run in software emulation mode, |
| 15 |
and probably be very slow. |
