I can start X just fine, and I used astro/celestia to try out OpenGL and it worked. BUT... Notice: Before anyone wastes any time on my problem, please note that I was impatient and installed the driver on a 4.7-PRERELEASE system, even though the driver documentation requests 4.7-STABLE. So I suppose any problems may be my own fault. (I have since cvsuped RELENG_4_7 and I am building it right now to see if that helps.) Anyway, here is my problem in case anyone knows how to fix it: My keyboard does not behave like it used to. I can't type the Swedish characters "=E5,=E4,=F6" anymore. And even more annoying, "|" is also gone. All these characters display just fine on the screen, it's just typing them that is broken. Being a newbie, I am not very experienced in diagnosing such a problem, but my first reaction was that this problem must have been caused by upgrading XFree86 from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1 and not by installing the nvidia driver. "How could the graphics driver affect keyboard input?" But apparently I was wrong, since going back to the old nv driver gave me my old keyboard behavior back. Is the nvidia driver causing this, or is it something else? Here are the changes I made to my XF86Config (changing between these two configs is all that is necessary to make my national characters stop/start working): [markus@krell /etc/X11]$ diff XF86Config XF86Config.nv=20 57c57 < # Load "glx" --- > Load "glx" 371,372c371,374 < Driver "nv" < #VideoRam 65536 --- > Driver "nvidia" > VendorName "NVIDIA" > BoardName "GeForce2 MX/MX 400" > VideoRam 65536 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
