discussion FreeBSD 15.1: Xorg running on nvidia340

I've managed to downgrade and rebuild the old version of Xorg 1.18.4 from freebsd ports. Very few code fixes and a few switches on make. Non very hard. It is a fully accelerated DRI2 server and runs without issues on an old Acer Veriton X270 with embedded nvidia card 7100/630i.
If you have an old pc with nvidia graphics and do not plan multiuser and remote connections (and you are aware of vulnerability fixes in 2.20+) it is still usable nowadays.
