Have you tried the x11/nvidia-driver? Maybe this forum posts (title: "Problems with video (nVidia GeForce 310M and FreeBSD 8.2") can help you: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=24392 You should have no problems using the binary driver from nvidia-driver (kernel module plus X driver). I'm using it here myself with a regular nVidia PC graphics card. If your display characteristics aren't detected properly (but that should be no problem on a laptop), you are right by "hard-coding" them into xorg.conf. Please refer to the Handbook chapter about configuring X to deal with possible upcoming problems when using xorg.conf. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html And also see: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html That document could save you from avoidable trouble. :-) > and finally i installed ubunu and freebsd on vmware. Does it run there properly? VMware defines a "virtual graphics card" that should be compatible with the X driver for Intel cards, if I remember correctly. > please help about this, i need to install freebsd on my notenbook Try to follow the instructions precisely and check each step. In case of problems, provide more information (commands you tried, their results, significant log messages etc.). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
