I am trying to convince my girlfriend to use freebsd as a desktop in her (not so) old toshiba S2450-201 laptop. I use it in my toshiba A200 laptop and it works fine. I just install it in her laptop with a 30GB disk I have... Installation was fine. This laptop as a "nvidia geforce4 420 go" graphics board with 32MB. The setup of xorg.conf was made through "Xorg -configure". I tested with startx and it worked. Then I installed the nvidia driver. I had to try all 3 driver versions and the only one that worked was "nvidia-driver-71xx". Then reboot and then I run "nvidia-xconfig". And startx... great, it worked! The nvidia logo appeared in the screen during xorg startup. Fine! Then I installed nvidia-settings. But when I try to run it it complains that it appear that I not using the NVIDIA X driver. But I am!! It also said that NV-CONTROL extension version 1.6 is too old and the minimum required version is 1.11. In my xorg.conf I have 1024x768 resolution, but xorg is with 800x600. I also dont have the VSR and HSR for this laptop. I just cant find it anywhere... Can someone help me with this please? Here is my xorg.conf: # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (root@Dinamite) Sat Feb 7 22:24:54 WET 2009 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/local/share/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "freetype" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "SWcursor" # [] #Option "HWcursor" # [] #Option "NoAccel" # [] #Option "ShadowFB" # [] #Option "UseFBDev" # [] #Option "Rotate" # [] #Option "VideoKey" # #Option "FlatPanel" # [] #Option "FPDither" # [] #Option "CrtcNumber" # #Option "FPScale" # [] #Option "FPTweak" # #Option "DualHead" # [] Identifier "Card0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go]" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection
