Hello Everyone.
I just bought me a spiffy new amd64 box with an nvidia GeForce 6600 card. I am running Freebsd 5.3/amd64 and xorg.
Though I love the games, my most important need for this machine is to do software development -- so I don't need the 3D stuff at all right now.
I tried the OSS nvidia driver -- it didn't detect the screen.
The "nvidia-driver" port does not work on amd64 (I think I remember it complaining...)
The nvidia site has 64 bit binaries for Linux, but if there is a magic way to "wrap" them for use in FreeBSD I don't know what it is.
Anyway, the Vesa driver would be good enough for my needs, and indeed, it easily drives the card to various resolutions, but all the built-in modes are with a 60hz refresh rate and the flicker drives me nuts.
Guess I can concoct a custom modeline to raise the refresh rate with the vesa driver, but that seems like a pretty primitive way to go here in THE FUTURE. So thought I'd ask if you folks had any suggestions.
Thanks,
-- Ward
