No need to change the Makefile anymore, it's in ports. -- Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer I already have it installed and I updated it today. Will try to change it to nv iso vesa driver and see what's happening. I knew my whole desktop was freezing when I used the nv driver together with the geforce 6200 GPU on my amd64 system. Will look if I don't get these anymore. Thanks --------------------------------- Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell.
