There is no X, I try to get information about the onboard video and I get VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430]" I tried installing nouveau but it did not do any difference, screen is garbled no X. The BSD install setup was too fast and I did not select sources for kernel and now I can't install nvidia driver to see if I could get X working :( Again, I appreciate any input given to see how I can help in testing.
