The actual version does not compile on CURRENT. One must disable the check for this version in the source NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-180.60/src/nv-freebsd.h: /* #if __FreeBSD_version >= 800000 #error This driver does not support FreeBSD 8.x/-CURRENT! #endif */ then it compiles and installs fine. There is as well a problem on laptops with huge amount of memory (mine has 4 GByte) which seems to be a known issue in http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=47 and hardlocks the system on start of X. One needs a setting in /boot/loader.conf of machdep.disable_mtrrs=1 with this all is fine and X comes up as it should. As well the nvidia-settings tool must be compiled directly from the source because the one in the ports has some library conflict. matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <guru@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
