Hello, I need some help to troubleshoot why the X doesn't come up after installing the latest nvidia driver from the port tree. I have no X display problem prior to replacing the generic vga driver with the new nvidia driver. I installed the driver via the ports tree, added a line to turn off agp.ko in device.hint, edited xorg.conf per the readme file from the driver download, then rebooted the box. When it tried to start the X server, the screen flashed a few times then gave me the following errors: kdm: Abnormal termination of greeter for display:0, code 1, singal 0 (the line above repeats five times) init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleepinnng 30 secs My system has FreeBSD 5.3 installed with default xorg-server-6.7.0_9. I also have Linux ABI compability turned on. My graphics card is GeForce TI4000. The /etc/ttys has the following line: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure I looked in the Xorg.0.log file but did not spot any error. Any help to chase down this display problem will be greatly appreciated. rain --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one personal page – Try My Yahoo!
