Hi , May I ask a question here, else just ignore. I am trying to use the new nvidia driver in XF86 as presented in: http://www.marcuscom.com/g2g-xfree86/article.html. My system: Dell inspiron notebook 8100 with nvidia gforce 2. FreeBSD 4.4 Currently I use X in vesa mode at 1200*1024 (which looks supprisingly good on a 1600*1200 LCD) The article says: goto ports/XFree86-4-Server make deinstall But this wont work if X has been installed as a package from a normal cd installation. So I did : pkg_delete XFree86-Server-4.1.???? (dont know precise version) And I did the installation from ports x11-servers/XFree86-4-Server which installs server version 4.2.??? But then a lot of executables seem to be missing, at least: xinit startx mkfontsdir ... The pkg_delete seems to remove too much , or the server install fails to install tools. I have now installed FreeBSD4.5, is there a procedure to install this new driver even if I have installed the X stuff as a package from a simple cd installation ? greetings Rob Frohwein To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
