Hello, I have the same card, you can find drivers for it in the /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver directory. Note that i had to copy the nvidia.ko file from that directory to /boot/kernel myself. Perhaps i did something wrong, but when copied manually and added to /boot/loader.conf (nvidia_load="YES") it works like a sunshine. Oh and could you do a little favor for me in return, wrap your lines at 80 chars or something. Thanks Cheers p.s little sidenote, FreeBSD works fine without the drivers, even VESA mode under X works. But when working dualscreen and for getting it all out of your card, it's better to use the driver. > > Thanks > > Zdzislaws > -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl A Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene
