The original graphics card was a Nvidia FX5200. Running Xorg -configure found it the first time and X started. I then managed to get KDE running but I use Gnome, so I loaded gnome and edited rc.conf to use gdm instead of kdm. And I goofed at that point by missing out one of the quotes . so when FreeBSD V7 was rebooted it hung. I managed with help to mount /etc/rc.conf and edit it, but then problems. Xorg would not start properly, with a fatal message of cant find screens. running Xorg -configure failed repeatedly not knowing which driver to load. I've manually edited xorg.conf with know good setting from linux, where the same card is used, but still failed on no screens found. So next was a complete re-install, and the same happened again. In case it was the graphics card I bought new PCI Express Nvidia 8500T which allegedly uses the same xorg driver "nv". Now I have two graphics cars that Xorg -configure cant find. Both cards are found without any problems when linux is running. I can't understand why on the first install the card was found and configured, but on all subsequent installs they both fail. Ideas please Also are there drivers available for my DVB-T card :- Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.
