ACtually the way this is SUPPOSED to be done is to edit /boot/loader.conf and add a line that says: nvidia_load="YES" I'd say this is better because then the nvidia card is probed at bootup and all it's resources are allocated the same way the rest of the cards on the system are done. That said I'm not sure it makes that much difference :-) Ken On Thu, 17 Jan 2002, Gary Jennejohn wrote: > Daniel Leal writes: > > Hi! > > > > i have just installed the new nvidia driver. i followed a nice tuturial.
