After I upgraded to xorg 7.2, I cannot get things to work anymore with my legacy nvidia 1.0-9631 driver (I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop).
Originally, I downloaded the FreeBSD legacy driver from the official nvidia website and installed it under the then current X11BASE=/usr/X11R6. Everything worked just fine. Until the upgrade to xorg 7.2, that is. As instructed in the upgrade instructions, I changed ModulePath to "/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules" in xorg.conf, which I suspect is the root of my problems, since the original working driver has remained installed in the old X11BASE. I've tried to install the driver from the nvidia-driver-9631 ports directory, but after struggling forever with all kinds of errors, I gave up and figured the best approach would be to somehow use my current setup, possibly copying and or linking to the right place. Should I just reinstall the driver, but which X11BASE? How to remove the original files without messing up my system even more? But I am not sure where to begin. Are there any kind folks out there who can give me a hand? Thanks alot in advance. -- Kiffin Rex Gish Gouda, The Netherlands _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
