I just # cd /ports/x11-drivers/xf86-drivers-nouveau/ # make install clean # Xorg -configure tested the screen, then ran # cp /root/xorg.conf.net /etc/X11/xorg.conf # sed -i "" 's|nv|nouveau|g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf restarted machine and I have nouveau working fine. Sometimes screen flickers, but I consider that normal behavior, given that Fedora 14 & Fedora 15, porteus 64 bit also flicker and they have newer xorg packages and newer nouveau drivers too and it is no loss :( I can go back to nv, but nouveau is working fine :) I had a problem when playing a movie with mplayer, the movie did not fill the entire screen when I typed 'f' or used -fs options. I corrected this by adding to ~/.mplayer/config zoom="YES" and it worked :) I was going to try and get the kernel sources to successfully install nvidia, but why go through that hassle if it is now working like I wanted it to work.
