Dear all,
I have just installed FreeBSD 7.1 Release on a machine with a GeForce
8500 GT (I think this is the card, but more about that later...) and
an LCD screen with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050.
Xorg works fine with the standard nv driver. However, if I try to
install the x11/nvidia
to
install the x11/nvidia-driver (which should bring better graphic
performance, right?) I get a total system freeze when I start the X
server.
Here are the details of what I have done:
1) install x11/nvidia-driver
2) add nvidia_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf
3) modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Did you install the latest Nvidia driver? Perhaps your card isn't
supported anymore. Nvidia dropped some older chipsets in their latest
driver. You can try nvidia-driver-96xx or nvidia-driver

I am having trouble getting X to use

To make things obvious you will have to take a look at your xorg.conf
file
Please do change dir to its parent folder (cd /etx/X11/) and run
cat xorg.conf | tr -s \n | grep -v #
that should make your xorg.conf look simple and clear.
I was able to temporarily change the resolution using the xrandr -s
1024x768 command - but xvidtune -show still displayed a modeline
that begins with 1280x1024. I copied that modeline to my xorg.conf,
and manually changed the resolution, but I did not fool it. It was
great to see the screen at

Following is an excerpt from my xorg.conf

Thanks for the info. Also from what I can see PAE does not support
USB. The reason why I am using i386 is because I'm not going to

Hi,
I have googled, looked though the mailing archives and the FreeBSD
Handbook but I have not found out how to build a PAE FreeBSD kernel
with nVidia graphics drivers included. This is for an Asus P5N-E
system with 4GB of RAM and SLI graphics cards.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
