Hi,
I have a Diamond Viper V770 (TNT2) and the patches appears to work 8)
It was not hard to build
cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86
make
mid way of building the X makefiles I paused the build and apply
the NVidia's patches which are only for the nvidia software modules.
continue the build. Copy XF86_SVGA to my /usr/X11R6/bin and
presto I now have X back again...
Will try later on to run xbench to see how fast is this card. my system
is a Pentium III 450 Mhz with 128mb of SDRAM and obscene amount
of memory compare to what I used to have to develop X Servers with
(8MB of memory) back in the 386bsd days.
With a resonable fast system X takes about 35 or 40minutes to build
very reasonable in my opinion .
Enjoy,
Amancio
