Hi,

is x11/nvidia-driver supposed to work on September 2007
-CURRENT snapshot? I've given it a shot and it compiles
fine, kldloads fine, but doesn't detect graphics card
for some reason

# sysctl -a | fgrep nvi

    vendor     = 'Nvidia Corp'
    device     = 'GeForce 7600 GS'
    class      = display

# dmesg | fgrep nvid
(nothing here)

When attempting to run X, I get:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): ============= WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING =============

I can submit more info on request.
