Running FreeBSD 6.3 on an old Compaq 8100 with a standard nvidia  
graphics card, x has recognized the card and read
"new driver is 'nv'"
before attempting to load "nv" and failing.  It then went on to tell  
me I didn't have a screen.  The log file reports that the os failed to  
check pci ports on startup, however, pciconf -l -cv returns an  
accurate list.  I do have a screen and would like to make x realize  
that.  Help?
