I actually let all of XFree86 3.3.2 compile just to get the server compiled, and then copied the server to my X11R6/bin dir manually. It ran just fine for me on a freshly installed 3.0-RELEASE PII 300 system with a Canopus SPECTRA 2500. Although I did run into that vm crash problem on exiting the server ;) Will have to cvsup and make a new kernel to get around that. Oh.. I had compiled the server on a non-ELF FreeBSD 3.0-current system so it ended up as an aout binary. It still ran fine, though. Here's the steps I had to do to make it work: # cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 # make patch # cd work # ln -s xc xc.org # patch </tmp/nv.patch # cd .. # make After all the dust settles, X should be built and you can pluck the compiled XF86_SVGA server out of the source dirs and just copy it over your previous one. I'll be rebuilding mine in elf later on tonight when I get home from work. If anyone wants my aout binary, I'd be happy to share it. Same with the elf binary once I get it compiled. :) >slpalmer > ---- On Oct 22 "David O'Brien" <obrien@NUXI.com> wrote: >> > RIVA TNT based video card (I'm running the VGA16 server until it's >> > supported). >> >> I had a friend that had one of these. >> >> I emailed David Schmenk <dschmenk@nvidia.com> to see if they had a server >> for us.
