Best regards all Zoran I have a GT 520 in an ASUS P8H61-M LE/USB3 with a corei5 8GB running two HD lcd's I have run 9.0 since RC3 (when I got the machine) without issues until the recent update - v304.43 - that version failed to run the second monitor so I went back to v295.71_1. There is another update since but I haven't tried it yet. The nvidia_load=YES goes into /boot/loader.conf not rc.conf Yes to use nvidia instead of nv in xorg.conf. nvidia-xconfig is a cli app that will configure the xorg.conf without asking for any options while nvidia-settings is a gui app that you can adjust all options and can then generate the xorg.conf to your settings. And if you are running dual monitors I recommend using twinview not xinerama. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I will use new SSD, so I hesitate to install RC1 and update later. No news on schedule for release, so far. The only version I waited with more uprehension was branch 5.

Re: gt520 and 9.1
Thanks Chuck! I'd avoid xconfig at all. I was puzzled with need to install prop blob. OK, nothing to stay awaken all night. :) Best regards Zoran ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Oh. you -do- still need to manually add nvidia_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf - but the xconfig automatically modifies your xorg.conf (or creates one if it doesnt exist) to use the proper xorg video driver. I've never had a problem with using it, and I've had nvidia for.. ever, basically :) -- Chuck Burns brea...@gmail.com ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
