I'm having some difficulty in getting this card to be configured under X. Have copied the XF86Config from the Linux section on http://www.nvidia.com/Products/Drivers.nsf/Linux.html It detects the chip set and then cannot load the module for it. I think this is because it's a Linux kernel module that needs to be loaded. What can we do about this under FreeBSD is there a workaround? (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVdriver kernel module! (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** Now i don't think this driver below supports the GeForce 2 Go card, but i could be wrong. /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o exists as well as /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o This is on a FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE laptop. startx -layout AGP XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) Release Date: 16 March 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
