excert from README.linux... this may be worth looking into.... (app-h) APPENDIX H: TNT SPECIFIC ISSUES __________________________________________________________________________ Most issues pertaining to SGRAM/SDRAM TNT cards should be resolved. There is the rare chance, however, that your video card has the wrong BIOS installed, and that this driver will continue to fail for you. If this driver fails for you, do the following: o watch your monitor as the system boots. The very first, brief screen will identify the type of video memory your card has. This will be either SGRAM or SDRAM. o edit the file "os-registry.c" from the kernel module sources. Look for the variable "NVreg_VideoMemoryTypeOverride". Set the value of the variable to the type of memory you have (numerically, see the line just above it). o since we don't normally use this variable, change the "#if 0" that is about 10 lines above the variable to "#if 1". o rebuild and reinstall the new driver ("make") _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
