Dave, I have been able to get the GeForce GTS chipset to work under X. You do have to get the latest cvsup updates. I have copied the recipe from the email that helped me out. Make sure to run this as root, then run startx as a regular user, so you don't introduce security issues and clutter your root partition. This is also probably a question for freebsd-questions, not so much for -newbies. You might get a quicker response with this type of question by posting there. BEGIN QUOTE: I used the FreeBSD port system. Here are the steps that worked. cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make patch I then copied these files from the XFree86.org anoncvs repository to the same directories under /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4/work/ xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86PciInfo.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_driver.c xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_include.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_local.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_type.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/riva_tbl.h xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/nv/nv_xaa.c Edit nv_include.h and remove the line #include "vbe.h" . Finish with cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make install XFree86 -configure --- Dave <dloose@WPI.EDU> wrote: > Ok, first I just want to thank everyone who helped > me out with that port > problem. > > My next problem is that I can't get my GeForce2 to > work under > XWindows.
