I was able to get all of the sources and built nvidia driver successfully :) However, when I run kldload nvidia, I get a mismatch with the running kernel and an incompatible ?????. I cannot post exact error as the machine gives me no X :(, I checked to see if enabling hald and dbus at /etc/rc.conf would make a difference and they have not :(, I have also tried nouveau and it also does not work. No working X on FreeBSD 9.0 BETA 2 amd64, ports updated to latest, xorg, xorg-server, xfce4, ... I will post in the thread I created on this issue. Regards, Antonio
