I've read the problems users have had with the default (canned) nv driver so expecting it not to work I did a XF86Config and sure enough, it didn't with my video card. (EE) no driver available. I then installed the driver from nVIDIA for my Ti4200. BTW is anyone aware that when a user invokes the XWindow Developer, the kernel sources are supposed to be installed, but are not? Just an observation. The nVIDIA drivers didn't work any better and gave a similar unrecoverable X-Windows error. If anyone has been able to get a nvidia Ti4200 working (X-windows), I'd really like to see your config files and know what drivers you're using and where you got them from. Apparently SciTech is working on a version of Snap Graphics for FreeBSD. From my OS/2 experience I know that Snap Graphics is going to be wonderful for the FreeBSD community, but in the mean time, I'd really need to get the above combination working. Please help. Mark
