Thanks for the response, but the nvidia driver in freebsd does not cover all nvidia cards. For my card, a 6200LE they recommend the 304.125 Legacy driver, which you have to build, and it needs kernel sources (I will assume just the include files). Im just not sure where kernel sources are hiding in FreeBSD (I ran FreeBSD *years* ago, but of late have run Redhat/Fedorda). > From brandon.schneider@icloud.com Sun Feb 15 17:26:21 2015 > X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on deneb.dwf.com > X-Spam-Level: > X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.6 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW > autolearn=unavailable version=3.3.1 > Received: from st11p00mm-asmtp001.mac.com (st11p00mm-asmtp001.mac.com [17.172.81.0]) > by deneb.dwf.com (8.14.4/8.14.3) with ESMTP id t1G0QKFQ022298 > for <reg@dwf.com>; Sun, 15 Feb 2015 17:26:21 -0700 > Received: from [192.168.1.10] > (66-188-153-21.dhcp.stcd.mn.charter.com [66.188.153.21]) > by st11p00mm-asmtp001.mac.com > (Oracle Communications Messaging Server 7.0.5.35.0 64bit (built Dec 4 2014)) > with ESMTPSA id <0NJU00N4197P0Y30@st11p00mm-asmtp001.mac.com> for reg@dwf.com; > Mon, 16 Feb 2015 00:26:14 +0000 (GMT) > X-Proofpoint-Virus-Version: vendor=fsecure > engine=2.50.10432:5.13.68,1.0.33,0.0.0000 > definitions=2015-02-16_01:2015-02-13,2015-02-15,1970-01-01 signatures=0 > X-Proofpoint-Spam-Details: rule=notspam policy=default score=0 spamscore=0 > suspectscore=1 phishscore=0 adultscore=0 bulkscore=0 classifier=spam adjust=0 > reason=mlx scancount=1 engine=7.0.1-1412110000 definitions=main-1502160003 > Message-id: <54E139A1.50402@icloud.com> > Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2015 18:28:17 -0600 > From: Brandon Schneider <brandon.schneider@icloud.com> > User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 > Thunderbird/31.4.0 > MIME-version: 1.0 > To: reg@dwf.com > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Where is the source? > References: <201502152242.t1FMgIeE003747@deneb.dwf.com> > In-reply-to: <201502152242.t1FMgIeE003747@deneb.dwf.com> > Content-type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed > Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit > Hi, > > PC-BSD is FreeBSD under the hood.
