It's about my Leadtek WinFast GeForce3 graphics card with NVIDIA chipset. It was working all right (for simple tasks, I didn't try games or something complicated) with the driver "nv". I decided to install the NVIDIA driver for FreeBSD, and now I am getting the error message: "NVIDIA: Chipset "GeForce3 in Device section card0 isn't valid for this driver." I cannot revert the driver to "nv" in XF86Config in /etc/X11, because it doesn't work anymore. If someone told me how to get the new driver (nvidia) working, would be great. Thanks. Teilhard.
