That's a good idea but if I do that I will be missing the cool screensavers using OpenGL ;) Stijn Hoop wrote: On Mon, Jan 05, 2004 at 07:46:53AM -0500, Dany wrote: What is the preferred method ?

What about DVD playing ? Does that take advantage of the Nvidia driver or will that work with nv ?

I use the nv driver and the vlc (/usr/ports/multimedia/vlc) port to watch DVDs. Have fun, Andrew Gould What Modules do you load in your XFree86 config file ? Following are the modules I load with the Nvidia driver, I'm not sure which one I should use for nv. Section Module Loaddbe Load glx Load extmod Load type1 Load freetype # Load bitmap # Load xtt # Load dri # Load record # Load xtrap # Load speedo EndSection Thanks Dany I didn't do anything special -- I took the coward's way out and let 'XFree86 -configure' do the work.;-) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html Here's the resulting module section: Section Module Load dbe Load dri Load extmod Load glx Load record Load xtrap Load speedo Load type1 EndSection Best regards, Andrew Gould ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Make sure that you have reverted all of the nvidia-driver port's files before you jump to conclusions though -- the kernel module is not all that is installed (though I believe pkg_delete should do the right thing). If you're in doubt, forcefully reinstall XFree86. --Stijn -- From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter.
