7-current. is it possible to compile?

[Grogan]

Well, sonofagun it's working now. Only changes I made was adding hint.agp.0.disabled="1" to device.hints (I don't think that made any difference... kldstat -v still shows the hostb/ entries for the various agp chipsets, and I don't have an agp bus on this PCI-E system). AGP support is built in my kernel though.

Another thing I did was add /usr/local/lib/compat to my ld-elf.so.conf file (compat5x built from ports so it's in /usr/local) but I'm not sure that had anything to do with it either as usually when you add something through ports, the system adds the path for the dynamic linker.

I'm going to try Sauerbraten now, if it will compile with gcc 4.2.0. If I can play that without panics I'll be happy.

I'll be back.

It appears that I'm OK now. I played Sauer for half an hour or so, and rebooted a couple of times and tried again and no problems or panics.

Sorry for the noise.

Edit: I can tell you that it was neither the hint.agp.0.disabled="1" nor the /usr/local/lib/compat path (which was already being done). I've undone those changes and I still can't reproduce the problem.

Strange, because it happened two out of two tries last night. I'll never understand how computers can be like that. Maybe I just needed a cold boot or something.

If you have XOrg 7.2 and consequently you don't have /usr/X11R6 download the patch I have attached and then run the following..

cd /tmp
tar zxf /tmp/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-100.14.11.tar.gz
zcat /tmp/nv-drv-xorg.diff.gz | patch
cd NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-100.14.11
make X11BASE=/usr/local
make X11BASE=/usr/local install

[Grogan]

On my system, /usr/X11R6 is a symbolic link to /usr/local (where X11 is... I built xorg through ports) and things work out. I had to create that xorg/modules symlink on Linux too when I changed over to xorg 7.1 so that was no surprise. However, your Makefile tweaks would make that unnecessary. I'll try that next time I have to run the Nvidia install. Thanks :-)
