I've got exactly that video card :) So...the best way is using the ports collection, do I still have to delete "options INVARIANT" and recompile the kernel ? It's very painful for me to compile things because I've got an old computer (Pentium MMX 200Mhz) and it takes long time to compile the kernel, so if I can still use both the kernel with INVARIANTS and install the nvidia-port, I'd be delighted.
