hi matey,

freebsd-multimedia is the best group for asking this

the NVidia card is going to mess you up though (AFAIK)

you need to enable DRI in Xfree and nvidia's drivers don't do dri

I've recently bought on a voodoo 5 from ebay for that very reason

When it arrives (end of next week I hope) I'll document everything I did
to get it going and post to questions & multimedia (though other people
have done this in the past) (assuming it works!)

my starting point will be :
