The one you need to remove might simply be called "nvidia-driver". However, if you just do a "pkg install nvidia-driver-304" it should automatically remove any conflicting packages. Lastly, you could try posting on the PCBSD specific forums or mailing lists, as they will have a better understanding of any differences there are between how this works on FreeBSD and PCBSD. http://www.pcbsd.org/en/join-us-on-pcbsd.html http://forums.pcbsd.org/ http://lists.pcbsd.org/mailman/listinfo Regards, Ben On Sunday, March 1, 2015, Dutch Ingraham wrote: > On 02/28/15 18:09, reg@dwf.com wrote: > > > > I hate to keep bothering this list with what seems to be a simple > > problem, but Im new to pc-bsd, and what I read, and the suggestions > > Im getting just don't work.
