I have now installed CURRENT in that Precision M4400; shrinked the Vista
partition to 50 GByte and installed in the remaining 170 GByte FreeBSD
CURRENT from a prepared USB key.

It seems that the Quadro FX 770M Graphics Card is not supported by the
NVIDIA driver in Xorg 1.6. -- any idea how to solve this?

Thx in advance

People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
