Re: FreeBSD 5.3 NVIDIA-1.0.7174 GLX extension problem
The new driver (March 31, 2005 release: NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7174.tar.gz) downloaded from Nvidia's site works great in 5.3. you have to sysinstall and install the kernel sources for its make to work, or you will get this error: cant find: /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk Remember to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the driver nv to nvidia enjoy the open gl screensavers!

I had used 1.0-6113 from ports. It works nice. But i wanted just to upgrade to the new NVIDIA Version.

What i can do for this? This is a warnings and errors of my X.org log (WW) NV(0): Option CursorShadow is not used (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found) I have attached the complete X.org log It turns out that you have not. My guess is that you need to use the nvidia driver (available from ports) instead of the nv one that comes with X.org. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
