Failed to load module nv ...
The other day I upgraded to xorg 7.2 but when I run startx I get the following error message: -- Failed to load module nv Rather that using the nvidia driver from the ports I had earlier downloaded the official freebsd driver from the nvidia site, but had installed it into the old xorg environment under /usr/X11R6. Do I need to reinstall it but this time in the new environment? Is that then under /usr/X11R6? How do I tell the make script to point it there, export X11BASE? Or should I remove this driver altogether and go with the official ports one? Thanks a lot in advance for all your help. -- Kiffin Rex Gish Gouda, The Netherlands ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I recommend using the one provided by NVidia, as performance is noticeably better for me. However, there is a port for the nvidia one. Depending on your model of card, use one of the /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-* ports. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Failed to load module nv ...
Hi The nv driver is part of the official Xorg distribution. Make sure you have the x11/xorg metaport installed as it contains all the official drivers : $ cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg $ sudo make install clean Also, make sure the ModulePath line in your xorg.conf points to the correct location (i.e. /usr/local instead of /usr/X11R6), an easy way to do that is to let Xorg regenerate a new file with # X -cnfigure About the official nvidia drivers, I had no problem installing them using the x11/nvidia-driver port instead of building from the nvidia tarball directly.
