I have successfully installed FreeBSD-9.0-BETA2 to an amd64 bit machine, I have used the ports to install xfce and xorg. When I type startx, I get a screen with a bunch of colors no mouse, no keyboard, just colors. The machine has nvidia onboard graphics. I am trying to get kernel sources installed via sysinstall to install nvidia-driver but I can't get anywhere from any ftp site I select at random. I have updated to latest sources available on the ports and it comes up the same. I have to use the nv driver, should I try the nouveau driver? What should I do? I want to help in testing and have no way to report bugs as without X there's not much one can do :( Thanks for advice/suggestions/comments. I am successfully running FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 on three machines two at home and one at work in case it is important/relevant in the thread. Regards, Antonio
