I think they do provide packages actually, meaning you don't have to bother with sources or ports at all! You can follow the instructions at this forum thread: https://pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=22216 In summary: 1. $ sudo pkg delete nvidia-driver 2. $ sudo pkg install nvidia-driver-304 3. Edit /boot/loader.conf to add a new line containing nvidia_load="YES" 4. $ sudo kldload nvidia 5. $ sudo nvidia-xconfig 6. Rebuild the grub menus: PC-BSD Control Panel -> Boot Manager -> Emergency Services Menu -> Rebuild GRUB Menu 7. Reboot Further help with installing packages on PCBSD can be found in the PCBSD 10.1.1 handbook here: ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/handbook/10.1.1/pcbsd10.1.1_handbook_en_ver10.1.1.pdf Regards, Ben -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com On 17 February 2015 at 17:23, Mike Clarke <jmc-freebsd2@milibyte.co.uk> wrote: > On Mon, 16 Feb 2015 16:46:59 -0700 > reg@dwf.com wrote: > > > The src.txz file in your note is what I needed. > > Unfortunately, on trying to do the build of the NVIDIA driver, it > > only works with FreeBSD 10 not 10.1, so running down the source > > only got me one step closer before erroring out. > > It certainly ought to build OK on 10.1, that's what I have here with > nvidia-driver-304 built from ports.
