Does the default install of XFree86 4.2 binaries from the 
FreeBSD 4.7 CD-Rom lack any drivers?  PCI video drivers, maybe?


When I set up a new FreeBSD 4.7 box from CD-Rom I choose the
option to install "all sources + XFree binaries" since I'm 
going to be running XFree86/KDE.

Usually it's not a problem, but on a new box with no AGP slot,
I've tried TWO different XFree-approved PCI video cards and
BOTH give me this error:

------------
Fatal server error:
XFree86 has found a valid card configuration.
Unfortunately the appropriate data has not been added to xf86PciInfo.h.
------------


my "scanpci -v" has this:

pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x0b function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x002d
 NVidia Riva TNT2 M64
  STATUS    0x02b0  COMMAND 0x0007
  CLASS     0x03 0x00 0x00  REVISION 0x15
  BIST      0x00  HEADER 0x00  LATENCY 0x20  CACHE 0x00
  BASE0     0xde000000  addr 0xde000000  MEM
  BASE1     0xdc000008  addr 0xdc000000  MEM PREFETCHABLE
  MAX_LAT   0x01  MIN_GNT 0x05  INT_PIN 0x01  INT_LINE 0x0b

my "dmesg" has this:

pci0: <NVidia Riva Ultra Vanta TNT2 graphics accelerator> at 12.0 irq 10




Any suggestions?

Will choosing NOT to install XFree86 at install-time then doing a cvsup and
install from /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make any difference?
