Sorry if I missed it, but I haven't seen an answer to the question of whether you've kldload'ed the nvidia module. When you type 'kldstat' does the nvidia module show up in the list? If not, type 'kldload nvidia' and try again. hth, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin'

does kldstat | grep nvidia show anything? if not kldload nvidia or echo nvidia_load=\YES\ /boot/loader.conf reboot does this change anything? you seem to be missing /dev/nvidiactl which probably means that the nvidia module is not loaded On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 12:43:12PM -0800, Duane H.
