Hi all ;-)

Tried to install 9631 (I have compat5x installed). Gives me this code:

rm: /lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1: Not a directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /tmp/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9631/x11/extension.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /tmp/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9631/x11.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /tmp/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9631.

Tried to install 9629, gives me this code:

rm: /lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so.1: Not a directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /tmp/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9629/x11/extension.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /tmp/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9629/x11.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /tmp/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9629.

I have the Geforce 400, so I need to install the legacy driver.

Would anybody happen to know how I can fix this?

Thank you in advance for your time and attention ;-)

You need to set X11BASE to /usr/X11R6 (which is done differently depending on the shell you use) before running make install.

Thanks Adam ;-) It didn't work on the 9631, but it did work on the 9629.

But now I face another problem: my refresh rate is much too low. With the original FBSD driver I could put it to 75Hz, but now with this driver (and AGP and 3d acceleration enabled) in my desktop settings the maximum refresh rate is 52Hz (@1280x1024). My monitor allows for horizontal 30 - 82 kHz, vertical 56-76Hz. I have included that in xorg.conf, but still I can't select a higher refresh rate in my desktop. Like said, with the FBSD driver it did work, and on XP it also works (so my card and monitor should be able to handle it).

Would you happen to have any clue why this is?

Thanks again ;-)

Sorry, that's one thing I can't help with :-) I suggest starting a new topic and hoping someone from nVidia responds.

@Zomers: it's possible that this problem is related to the dynamic display configurability feature of current drivers; please see the documentation on the DynamicTwinview X driver option in the README for details (e.g. http://us.download.nvidia.com/freebsd/1.0-9746/README/chapter-04.html and http://us.download.nvidia.com/freebsd/1.0-9746/README/appendix-d.html).

Thank you very much, Zanders: this appeared to do the trick:

Option "DynamicTwinView" "0"

:captnkill:

Now I have one more question: my screen is still blurry; it is not so crystal clear as it is under XP (look at the fonts for example). Would you happen to know how I can solve this? Currently it's running at 1280x1024 @ 75Hz. Since the three screenprints are to large to attach to this message, I've uploaded them to mytempdir:

Thanks again for your help ;-)

The screenshots look fine; are you using a CRT or a DFP? If you're using a DFP, is it connected via DVI or SUBD? You may want to start X with -logverbose 6 and take a closer look at the information on mode validation, etc., provided by the NVIDIA X driver.

Hi Zander ;-)

Thanks for your reply.

I was afraid of you saying the screenshot looked fine; I doubted it could demonstrate clearly enough what I am seeing. I've uploaded one made under XP; can you see the difference now? The last of the three links in my first post shows that under BSD the fonts are much bolder than under XP (although, under XP, *in this screenshot* they are also a little bold: in practice they are not; I have no clue why the last screenshot still makes it look like under XP they are also too bold).

I am using a 19" HP (f1904) LCD/TFT-screen. Not with DVI, so I am assuming it is then SUBD (I have no clue what it means :D ). It's the same cable that was also connected to my CRT-monitors.

Starting X with -logverbose 6? Sure, if I can find out how (I am still very new to BSD :afro: )

This is the screenshot I uploaded, made under XP:

Thanks again for your kind help ;-)

I think I found the solution (for 95%) :captnkill:

It's over here:

I think it's much better now, although still not 100% perfect.
