Hello, My new machine[1] has a nVidia GeForce 8200 (aka MCP78S) chipset. I run FreeBSD / amd64 RELENG_7 on it: root@kg-v2# uname -a FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0: Thu Dec 25 15:51:46 CET 2008 root@kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 It doesn't look like the GPU in this machine is supported by the nv driver (yet). And because I run FreeBSD / amd64, I can't use the nvidia driver, right? Currently I am using the vesa driver, which works. Do anyone know of a way to get a better Xorg driver working?
