Hi everyone!
I am trying to convince my girlfriend to use freebsd as a desktop in her
(not so) old toshiba S2450-201 laptop. I use it in my toshiba A200
laptop and it works fine.
I just install it in her laptop with a 30GB disk I have... Installation
was fine. This laptop as a "nvidia geforce4 420 go" graphics board with
32MB.
The setup of xorg.conf was made through "Xorg -configure". I tested with
startx and it worked. Then I installed the nvidia driver. I had to try
all 3 driver versions and the only one that worked was
"nvidia-driver-71xx". Then reboot and then I run "nvidia-xconfig". And
startx... great, it worked! The nvidia logo appeared in the screen
during xorg startup. Fine! Then I installed nvidia-settings. But when I
try to run it it complains that it appear that I not using the NVIDIA X
driver. But I am!!
It also said that NV-CONTROL extension version 1.6 is too old and the
minimum required version is 1.11.
In my xorg.conf I have 1024x768 resolution, but xorg is with 800x600.
I also dont have the VSR and HSR for this laptop. I just cant find it
anywhere...
Can someone help me with this please?
Here is my xorg.conf:
