It isn't supported, and I was wondering if you knew if there were bsd drivers for my card and where I can get them. I've looked several places on the web and haven't been able to find any, but maybe I'm overlooking something. If you need any more info, let me know. Thanks. >Ian > I managed to get the geforce 2 under Freebsd 4.1 and XFree86 4.1. The drivers have been written but the last XFree86 release does not contain them. I used the FreeBSD port system. Here are the steps that worked. cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make patch I then copied these files from the XFree86.org anoncvs repository to the same directories under /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4/work/ xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86PciInfo.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_driver.c xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_include.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_local.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_type.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/riva_tbl.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_xaa.c Edit nv_include.h and remove the line #include "vbe.h" . Finish with cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make install XFree86 -configure And it worked!
