On my newly bought HP pavillion 6366 notebook with freebsd 6.2 - p4 and
one of the latest portsnap I have an nvidia go 7400 card, *** fully ***

I followed the minimal configuration by nvidia-xconfig and just taiored
the language for the keyboard....BUT
startx fails to load X and in the log file I find I find the below
reported errors.
Being a beginner I find myself somewhat disorientated by these errors
that I couldn't find surfing the net.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please

(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
Not too cryptic. Make sure that the nvidia kernel module is loaded and try
again. To verify, type "kldstat". If nvidia.ko is not listed, type "kldload
nvidia". To load it automatically on boot (which is the only way for it to
load successfully), add a line like this to /boot/loader.conf:
nvidia_load="YES"
Then reboot.
Actually the nvidia.ko mdule was and is loaded
hpbsd# kldstat

I was able to eliminate the following error
--------------------
(II) LoadModule: "wfb"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libwfb.so
dlopen: Shared object "librpcsvc.so.2" not found, required by "libwfb.so"
(EE) Failed to load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libwfb.so
------------------
because the required librpcsvc.so.2 has become (and is presente as)
librpcsvc.so.3. Therefore I linked
ln -s librpcsvc.so.3 librpcsvc.so.2
That's ok now BUT
NVIDIA: could not open the device /dev/nvidiactl
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please ensure
(EE) NVIDIA(0): that there is a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system, and
(EE) NVIDIA(0): that the NVIDIA device files have been created properly.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Please consult the NVIDIA README for details.
still something incorrect prevents startx to fire X.
The problems seems to be /dev/nvidiactl!
Please help - Vittorio
Add yourself to the video group and chown/mod the /dev node until you
have read, write, and executable access.
