Hi list,
I have a box with a GeForce2 MX/MX400 onboard on an nForce-chipset and
want to use the binary nVidia-driver with it. I have to use the legacy
driver (96.43.13). It installs without problems, and the GPU gets
detected properly:
nvidia0: <GeForce2 Integrated GPU> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
nvidia0: [ITHREAD]
However, if I start X, strange things happen. The video is shown, but
there are many artifacts and all looks kind of strange - it is
unusable. I can see the following from the nVidia-driver in dmesg
after X started:

The README of the driver says that Xid-errors occor when the card gets
wrong instructions from the driver and/or vice-versa, but that doesn't
help me much getting to the root of the problem.
What I've done so far to track this down:
- Tried the driver from ports (atm in version 96.43.11) and the one
from the website (96.43.13).
- installed compat5x (The nVidia page claims this is necessary).
- I tried with agp-support from the nVidia-driver and with agp-support
from the FreeBSD kernel.
All that did not changed the observed beharviour. I would be more than
happy if someone could provide me with a hint...
The Xorg.0.log doesn't provide meaningful informations, except the
Xid-errors shown above. xorg.conf attached.
Thanks,
Frank

Hello Frank,
I'd advise you to try out different versions of nvidia driver from
ports, especially x11/nvidia-driver-71 as it's quite an old card.
I have GeForce 6100 and if I use anything different than
x11/nvidia-driver-173 I get some random issues.
If you still get issues with x11/nvidia-driver-71 I think that you
should check out some older drivers from nvidia web site.
About your xorg.conf file I don't think that you need to have both
Option "DPMS"
and
HorizSync 30-60,
VertRefresh 50-76
set at the same time. As I understand it DPMS means that graphics card
reads these information directly from screen so you don't have to set it
yourself. I've got only
Option "DPMS"
set and it works fine.
Rafal
