I am not exactly sure which driver I am using between these two, however I have found that setting up the driver and display are great with these packages installed. I guess I would be using the most recent :) nvidia-driver-173.14.12 nvidia-driver-71.86.06 nvidia-settings-173.14.09 nvidia-xconfig-1.0_2 After you use the "nvidia" driver in your Xorg.conf file, I would suggest running, nvidia-xconfig, and then nvidia-settings while in X to configure the card. -Jason On Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 05:05:42PM +0100, Mike Clarke thus spake: >On Monday 08 June 2009, Carmel wrote: > >> One last question; if I install the AMD 64 bit version of FBSD, will >> the NV driver work?
