Hello, all,
I successfully managed to install the FreeBSD nVidia video drivers, but ran
into a problem that is apparently X related: How does one tune the gamma
correction? man XFree86 suggests the command line option -gamma value,
where value is a number between 0.1 and 10.0, 1.0 being the default. I
tried to start X with startx -gamma 2.0, but right after displaying the
nVidia logo, X drops back to the command line. The error message says,
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm: bad command line option '-gamma'. The XFree86
version is 4.3.0 (compiled from ports).
What am I doing wrong, and where would I look for more information? Also,
if a working option can be found, is there a place where I can put this so
that it is automatically used and I don't have to type it in manually every
time X is started?
Hmm looking at man startx I think that you need to add -- to the command
line to inform startx that the following switchs/options are for the X server
and not startx. Try startx -- -gamma 2.0
(At this point I actually miss the nice GUI-interface to tweak the card
that comes with nVidia's XP drivers. :)
/usr/ports/sysutils/nvclock might be interesting. Build it, install it and run
nvclock_gtk
Thanks!
No worries.
Hope all that was helpfull
