Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 #3 on my machine and I'm having proble=
ms=20
on installing nvidia-driver from ports.
I get the following error: ERROR: Failed to load the NVIDIA module!
KLD nvidia.ko: depends on mem - not available.

That's saying about mem.ko module. Well, I cvsuped my tree - 'cause mem.ko=
=20
doesn't exit on my /boot/kernel directory - and it's not available for my=20
tag=3DRELENG_5_2. I tried to update my tree with the tag=3D. and it downloa=
ds mem=20
source, but it's incompatible to my freebsd version (when I try to build an=
d=20
install my kernel I get errors about options that aren't available for that=
=20
version of kernel).

I searched google about more info and all I could get was a discussion betw=
een=20
commiters about cvsup war/bug fix.
In the end: I can't install nvidia-driver because it needs mem.ko module an=
d I=20
can't install mem.ko module because it isn't cvsuped to my tree (or because=
=20
I'm too dummy :( ).

Could anyone help?

I appreciate in advance,

Ricardo Britto
