X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2007 08:33:27 -0000 After I upgraded to xorg 7.2, I cannot get things to work anymore with = my legacy nvidia 1.0-9631 driver (I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop). Originally, I downloaded the FreeBSD legacy driver from the official = nvidia website and installed it under the then current X11BASE=3D/usr/X11R6. Everything worked just fine. Until the upgrade to xorg 7.2, that is. As instructed in the upgrade instructions, I changed ModulePath to "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" in xorg.conf, which I suspect is the root = of my problems, since the original working driver has remained installed in = the old X11BASE. I've tried to install the driver from the nvidia-driver-9631 ports directory, but after struggling forever with all kinds of errors, I gave = up and figured the best approach would be to somehow use my current setup, possibly copying and or linking to the right place. Should I just reinstall the driver, but which X11BASE? How to remove the original files without messing up my system even more? But I am not sure where to begin. Are there any kind folks out there who = can give me a hand?=20 Thanks alot in advance. --=20 Kiffin Rex Gish Gouda, The Netherlands
