I cannot Try removing (if there is it) the line Chipset in your device section (XF86Config). Read also these documents: /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA/README /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA/README.Linux /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA/XF86Config.sample And check /var/log/XFree86.0.log P.S. This is not a tecnical list ... the right place for your question should be freebsd-x11@freebsd.org -- Marco Trentini mark@remotelab.org http://www.remotelab.org/
