Hello! Based on the x11/nvidia-driver port I compile the open-source bits of the FreeBSD-driver. I then link them with the binary-only piece from NVidia, which produces an nvidia.ko, that can be kldloaded to say: kernel: nvidia0: <Quadro FX 1000> mem 0xe0000000-0xe7ffffff,0xfd000000-0xfdffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 I then put the Linux version of nvidia_drv.o into X11BASE/lib/modules/drivers/ and try to start X using the same config file I used with this same card on my older Xeon system. The machine hangs solid -- the last things I see from the X-server are: [...] (II) Setting vga for screen 0. (**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 (==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 565 (==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor (==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0) (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinView" (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "1600x1200,1600x1200" (==) NVIDIA(0): Using HW cursor (==) NVIDIA(0): Video key set to default value of 0x83e (**) NVIDIA(0): TwinView enabled (--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xE0000000 (--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xFD000000 Is mine a totally wrong method, or is there hope? Any suggestions? I just want my two screens to work again :-) Thanks! -mi
