Re: 4.8, KDE, and a Geforce4 Ti4200 8X

Why would it be impossible? I'm running FreeBSD 4.x with KDE and an nvidia Ti4200 card, although I don't know my AGP speed for sure (I think it's 4x). Runs fine, both with XFree86's nv driver and nvidia's driver, compiled from ports. I find that the nv driver is more stable in general, but the nvidia driver is needed for playing 3D accelerated games, the reason I bought this card. It crashes the machine occasionally, but I'm happy with the performance. Be sure to read the docs/readme that come with the nvidia driver, there are several issues (AGP driver for instance). I've read the problems users have had with the default (canned) nv driver so expecting it not to work I did a XF86Config and sure enough, it didn't with my video card. (EE) no driver available. I then installed the driver from nVIDIA for my Ti4200. Post the lines with (EE), they might give a clue why it's not working. BTW is anyone aware that when a user invokes the XWindow Developer, the kernel sources are supposed to be installed, but are not? Just an observation. What is XWindow Developer?? The nVIDIA drivers didn't work any better and gave a similar unrecoverable X-Windows error. If anyone has been able to get a nvidia Ti4200 working (X-windows), I'd really like to see your config files and know what drivers you're using and where you got them from. I could send it to you (when I'm home since there is the PC with nvidia card), but if you don't know why your setup doesn't work this won't help you much I'm afraid. (My guess is that the error has nothing to do with the driver itself, therefore it gives a similar error in both cases.)

Apparently SciTech is working on a version of Snap Graphics for FreeBSD. From my OS/2 experience I know that Snap Graphics is going to be wonderful for the FreeBSD community, but in the mean time, I'd really need to get the above combination working. Please help. Mark I haven't had any problems. I'm running 5.1_RELEASE and I just used the default config for XFree. I don't do any gaming in FreeBSD, so I don't need a lot of the fancier stuff the card has here. - -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (952) 403-9000 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/iwiTWxy3JtXvWloRAokCAJ9Trw43cUpCBmQ524ZwltNDzurh4ACfbDfq UiGs92iIjnvKMJrP4McYI1Q= =t3+R -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
