I would suggest that it's more appropriate to use the x11/nvidia-driver port, e.g.: cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver sudo make install clean Then set your tunables (i.e hw.nvidia.registry.SoftEDIDs and hw.nvidia.registry.Mobile) via '/etc/sysctl.conf'. Finally, you would apply the changes to xorg.conf as you recommend. The nvidia readme file for their freebsd driver mentions this in the section titled 'CONFIGURING LOW-LEVEL PARAMETERS'. Regardless, using ports to install things and sysctl.conf to control the low-level parameters is more traditional. Of course the beauty of FLOSS systems is you can solve problems in a way that works best for your particular situation ;-) Just a suggestion, Dino
