But you're right, in case it's nVidia, that one probably should be used. It also requires the drm and the nvidia kernel modules, as well as the nvidia-driver (for X) installed, which seems to be the case. Still it doesn't explain why that combination doesn't seem to find any usable hardware (see my previous post where I mentioned the kernel modules and the X log file's entries). --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
