Normally I wouldn't mention this this may point to a deeper set of bugs in xorg/nv/nvidia/freebsd 7-current. Where things stood: 1. I had xorg 7.3 on freebsd 7-current (i386) 2. It did not reconize any nvidia card in anyway shape or form (nv, nvidia (even he latest beta's posted on 9/26), etc.) 3. As soon I upgraded to 7-current (amd64) and reinstalled xorg 7.3 the nv driver works My hardware: intel e6850 p35 mobo 4 gb of ram nvidia geforce 5200 GT (pci) (but had the same issue and I think actually physically damaged a 8500 gs (pci-e)) [once nvidia comes out with a stable closed source driver I will probally get an other Lessons for other people: 1. If you have a 64bit x86 like processor you should try using amd64 instead of i386 binaries 2. The xorg (and/or freebsd kernel team) need to figure out why there should be any diff between amd64 and i386 (I removed one dimm and remade xorg and it still failed on i386)home | help
