Forgive me if I missed something loading. But I could not get any monitor listed with the ported driver. But I did get the past 3 versions of the Nvidia driver loaded from the drivers download site from nvidia. I have a 9500GT 1g galaxy card. Just a heads up for future users. just install /usr/src/ with ports current. and download the driver, tar - it and just make install. the linux_base-f10 kernel modules need to be preped but not loaded with the current drivers from Nvidia. in all 3 of my test install cases reinstalling the ported driver crashed my X system. If anyone has any issues with the current driver form nvidia shoot me a mail I should be able to walk even a novice through the install and loading of the kernel mods and driver to get it working with all openGL codex working. --=20 =A0 =A0 =A0 =93There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance= =94......Socrates
