Have you installed the port or package "nvidia-driver" (or one of its siblings)? The documentation that comes with it will probably tell you what you need to know. On my own machine I have NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9631, and I get this: %sysctl hw.nvidia.agp.status hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: enabled hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: nvidia hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: 4x hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: disabled hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: disabled -- Tore
