Hi, I'm not sure about dev**, but the defacto standard of any nvidia card is that it just works(in xBSD, Linux,....); ie: nvidia-driver-100.14.19 http://us.download.nvidia.com/freebsd/169.12/README/chapter-04-section-02.html #cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver;make install clean add your below to /boot/loader.conf #xorgconfig afterwards edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and just uncomment "glx" change "nv" -> "nvidia" thats it. has worked great for me from nvidia agp 6200's -> pcix 8800GT'S, ...and beyond. > Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 21:24:48 +0300> From: yuri.pankov@gmail.com> To: chuckr@chuckr.org> CC: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: getting sound to work, and also my nvidia 8600GTS> > On Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 12:37:23PM -0500, Chuck Robey wrote:> <snip>> > Maybe I should drop this at this point, but my nvidia.ko file, which is the> > driver for my 8600 GTS card, it never seems to get started.
