So to get it to install, comment out the doc portion of the make file and remove that symlink before doing make install. You will get no man pages and a waring about it but it will install the port.

Hmm looking at man startx I think that you need to add -- to the command line to inform startx that the following switchs/options are for the X server and not startx. Try startx -- -gamma 2.0 (At this point I actually miss the nice GUI-interface to tweak the card that comes with nVidia's XP drivers. :) /usr/ports/sysutils/nvclock might be interesting. Build it, install it and run nvclock_gtk Thanks! No worries. Hope all that was helpfull -Alastair ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Configuring GeForce FX 5200 in X?
On Saturday, 23 August 2003 15:07, Dragoncrest wrote: Hi all. Just got a GeForce4 FX 5200 to install in a new Freebsd box and I'm trying to configure X to use it, but I don't see the card listed anywhere in the list of cards on the machine. What do I do in order to configure the card itself? I'd like to get it installed and running in there if possible. If it's not one that bsd will use, I'll just swap my GF3 out of my win box instead, but I'd rather get this going of possible. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to get this working or which driver to use? Install /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver and then in your XF86Config swap your video card driver with nvidia. Reboot and hopefully you will have a working FX5200 on FreeBSD :-) HTH -Al ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Installing FreeBSD

But to be sure, I want to keep my existing Windows install, so that if I don't like it, I can switch back. But then, I can't find any describtion if any, on how to make the partitions with PartitionMagic, which is a good program I really like. Can't you use ParititionMagix to resize your Windows file system? And then during the FreeBSD install use the left over space from the resize above for the BSD file system. And what filesystem does FreeBSD use? I believe it's Berkeley Fast File System. or Unix File System 2(not sure someone might correct me)...or a combition of the two..? Is it possible to use ext2 which Linux uses? Don't think so. - Per Christian -Al ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Hardware supported?

It should be supported by the drm in the kernel and X should play nicely with it. Well actually the 9700PRO is supported to some extent. And that extent is 2D XFree86 only. No DRM as of this time, however, ATI releases binary drivers(FireGL) for Linux that provide 3D acceleration for the 9700. Maybe some kind emails to ATI might get some FreeBSD attention.. -Alastair On Tue, 3 Jun 2003 01:13:27 +0200 Sandor \fisty\ Renz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, my name is Sandor Renz! ive been using freebsd for some time on a pc now!and now i would like to make it as my main os on my main pc, but i dont know if my video card is supported?i have a Ati radeon 9700pro is this card supported??? another questien i have a SunBlade 100 will the ultrasparc version of FreeBSD work on my workstation? thx in advantage for ur respond:D best regards Sandor Renz ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
