Nvidia video driver and Fb7
Hi, everyone, I have installed the FB7-rc1 and the nvidia driver from port and kept update to the newest version, but when I change the xorg.conf to use the nvidia instead of nv, the X gave a complain about no /dev/nvidiactl and stops, so I can only use nv, which seems slow on some 3d application. I tried to download the source from nvidia web page to compile, but it said it is not for fb7 now. But, when I install from port, it did not give any error or warning. So, have anyone tried nvidia driver on fb7 and succeed? Please give some advice on how to solve this problem.

Are you sure the driver is loaded into your kernel? # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 1 15 0xc040 550b18 kernel 22 0xc099c000 28638linux.ko ... 51 0xc0a18000 693b10 nvidia.ko You need these lines in /boot/loader.conf: nvidia_load=YES linux_load=YES (The Linux mod is if you built the driver with support for Linux DRI) Dan -- Daniel Bye _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ pgpuF6ZQHazRM.pgp Description: PGP signature

I remember someone explaining that the nvidia module needs to register the card before the kernel. A kldload is unsifficient, you need to reboot with this in your /boot/loader.conf: -8--- nvidia_load=YES -8--- HTH, Baptiste -- Baptiste Grenier | PGP: 0x069112E2 HealthGrid SysAdmin http://healthgrid.org/ pgpDeYEHjiYJ1.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, It works, thanks a lot. But, it seems the size of the font is larger than before, anyway the main problem is not the font size:) Best wishes, Kemain Baptiste Grenier 写道: Le 30/01/08 à 13:32, Kemian Dang téléscripta : Hi, everyone, I have installed the FB7-rc1 and the nvidia driver from port and kept update to the newest version, but when I change the xorg.conf to use the nvidia instead of nv, the X gave a complain about no /dev/nvidiactl and stops, so I can only use nv, which seems slow on some 3d application.
