I have an Abit AV-20 M/B that has an integrated Unichrome Pro Graphics with 2D/3D video controller. I am trying to install XFree onto FreeBSD 5.3 and am having trouble getting X11R6.4.5. to work. It seems I need a driver and noticed that in a discussion on the topic: FreeBSD 5.3 NVIDIA-1.0.7174 GLX extension problem Twas said by Randy Dawson: --------- > The new driver (March 31, 2005 release: > NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7174.tar.gz) > downloaded from Nvidia's site works great in 5.3. > you have to sysinstall and install the kernel sources for its make to > work, > or you will get this error: > cant find: > /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk > Remember to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the driver "nv" to > "nvidia" ---------- I wondered if there is a similar driver for the Unichrome. Also some more detailed instructions for the sequence of commands needed to successfully add new drivers and carry out the sysinstall would be much appreciated.
