Hello all,
just installed a new Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 on my pc (freebsd 5.2RC2), and did
a "startx" but just got this:

My previous setup was based on a GeForce 2 GTS, and X with "nvidia" run
without any problem. Also a GeForce 2 MX400 was ok. Now, I had to revert to the "nv"
driver (the one included in XFree86) to be able to run X.
Has anyone any clue or advice ?
I did compile nvidia-driver-1.0.4365 with the default options (just
a simple "make install) when I had the GeForce 2 GTS installed. Kernel
is in its default config (as coming from 5.2RC2).
BTW: card is working ok in M$ and Linux.
Thanks,
Luca.
