I came to this party late, so please excuse me if this has been discussed. 1) Ha the user installed the latest nVidia driver from ports: Port: nvidia-driver-195.36.15 Path: /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver Info: NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering And it accompanying utilities: Port: nvidia-settings-195.36.31 Path: /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-settings Info: Display Control Panel for X NVidia driver Port: nvidia-xconfig-195.36.31 Path: /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-xconfig Info: Tool to manipulate X configuration files for the NVidia driver And installed a line in the /boot/loader.conf file for this driver: nvidia_load="YES" # nVidia video driver 2) After doing the above, if not done previously, reboot the system. 3) Move to the "/etc/X11" directory and run as root: nvidia-xconfig" The "man nvidia-xconfig" file will supply all the details. You really should not run it with any command line arguments the first time. 4) Now start 'xorg" and run as root: "nvidia-settings". That should complete the process. You may have to reload 'xorg' for all settings to take affect. Please see "man nvidia-settings" for full details. -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
