No. But build your x11/nvidia-driver with no more than -O. Better with gcc (clang may be OK, but I'm not sure). Furthermore, if you use x11/nvidia-driver, you have no need to load drm.ko, which is for, e.g. radeon cards. > > Regards, > Oliver > > -- It is impossible for an optimist to be pleasantly surprised. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
