Hi folks,

FreeBSD 6.2-amd64

I have been searching around for nVidia drvier without result.  X
window can't work properly on this box.  However I'm not alone.  Please
visit following sites

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=41545&page=15

and

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=82203

The problem existed since 11-28-04, needing a nVidia driver for amd64
FreeBSD.

If you want to run amd64 FreeBSD please stay away with components
running nVidia chipsets.  Otherwise you will run into my situation as
well as other folks on above sites.


B.R.
