Hello all and thank you in advance...first off I am still a bit of a newbie with FreeBSD (and *NIX in general) but am learning more every day = ) I hope I got this on the correct list but feel free to point me in the right direction if I did not OK...here's the problem. I have an A7N8X board (deluxe) and am trying to use the nvidia driver with my GeForceFX. I've installed 5.1-Release (I tries 4.8 too but the 5.1 just seemed to flow better with me) and have ACPI turned off in my BIOS and in FBSD. However no matter what I do all I seem to be able to get when I start up X is the nvidia logo. I lose all keyboard function and thus have to do a hard reboot. I have been working on this particular little problem for a number of weeks now to no avail. I have searched any relevant docs I could find (nvidia, handbook,XFree86 site, nforce2 site) to no avail. I have googles so much I have trouble remembering which keyword combination I used to get to a particular page. Basically I am clueless on what to try next. I have tried make setup with the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with agp in the kernel, tried the WITH_FREEBSD_AGP with it not in the kernel but as a module, I have tried with no agp in kernel or agp.ko and using the cards AGPGART. I have even tried combinations between them. I have compiled and recompiled with optimizations (-march=athlon-xp CHFLAGS= -o -pipe) and without but nothing seems to change. The only errors I am getting in my XFree86.0.log is a couple of warnings about some resolution I don't use anyway not working with my monitor and of course it not being able to verify AGP usage when I am using freebsd's agpgart. Other than that everything looks peachy keen. Everything works fine with "nv" Looking back I probably would not have gotten such a problematic chipset if I had known I was going to be giving up windows and moving to something a little more fun = )...btw besides the whole video driver thing I am loving this OS. oh yeah....if you need me to post my dmesg or config file or log or anything just let me know = ) Don Whitteker __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
