Hello all,

  just installed a new Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 on my pc (freebsd 5.2RC2), and did
a "startx" but just got this:

  Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
           (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
           (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

  My previous setup was based on a GeForce 2 GTS, and X with "nvidia" run
without any problem. Also a GeForce 2 MX400 was ok. Now, I had to revert to the "nv"
driver (the one included in XFree86) to be able to run X.

  Has anyone any clue or advice ?

  I did compile nvidia-driver-1.0.4365 with the default options (just
a simple "make install) when I had the GeForce 2 GTS installed. Kernel
is in its default config (as coming from 5.2RC2).

  BTW: card is working ok in M$ and Linux.

  Thanks,
   Luca.
