Even the VESA driver works at this resolution with the GEFORCE 440 card - I am not saying the performance is spectacular, but it works fine for me.

The driver I'm trying to install is: NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7174.tar.gz. When I try to install it, make stops with an error saying that vm86.h was not found. Has anyone come across this problem before? I have the same type of card and use the NVIDIA driver with no problem. I'm not sure, but does the driver support AMD 64 cpu?? Alternatively, does anyone know of another driver I can use with my card that will support 1024x768 at true colour depth? The Xorg driver 'nv' - I believe it is - should support 1024x768, it just doesn't do the 3D acceleration of the Nvidia driver. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
