Five days and no responses, so maybe more information. On this computer
I have on board GeForce 6100.
vgapci0@pci0:0:5:0: class=0x030000 card=0x81bf1043
chip=0x024210de rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Nvidia Corp'
device = 'GeForce 6100'
class = display
subclass = VGA
I have the same exact release and ports running on a different computer
equipped with a GeForce 6800 XT in an AGP slot without a problem. The
big difference is that other computer is running i386. It is using "nv"
driver without any problems.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. Feel free to tell me where
to go. :-)
Thanks
Robert
