OK, exactly how did you get it to work? >I'm running the i386 version of FreeBSD on a Foxconn 6150M2MA=20 >motherboard and couldn't get the GeForce 6150 to work with the 180.44=20 >driver but it works fine with the x11/nvidia-driver-96 port which I >use in preference to the nv driver. That port version is several versions old. Perhaps the maintainer will update to the latest version. According to the change-log, it corrects quite a few problems. >The lack of a 64bit Nvidia driver was one of the reasons I installed >the i386 version of FreeBSD on this 64bit platform. Unfortunately, I will probably have to do that also. Since it is not going to be used for anything critical, it probably does not matter. It would be nice if FreeBSD gets around to supporting 64 bit drivers like this so that a user could take advantage of a 64 bit system. --=20 Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com Reality must take precedence over public relations, for Mother Nature cannot be fooled.
