But im optimistic, I've seen many people on mailing lists claiming they have a 8800 GTS and running freebsd. I've mailed some persons asking for directions and xorg.conf/any other tricks. Regards, -- Alexandre Vieira - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, FYI this card will only work with the latest BETA drivers. You need to compile and install by hand. Also, since the X base has now moved to /usr/local exepct some problems because it will try to install to /usr/X11R6. I wonder if it's possible for someone to create a nvidia-driver-beta and track this beta driver. Most of this new cards will only work with this driver! It's working fine now! :) Thanks Regards, -- Alexandre Vieira - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
