Hello,
I've just switched from Gentoo Linux to FreeBSD 6.2, and am having trouble making use of the nvidia-driver port. I've installed the port and configured my xorg.conf file appropriately. My problem is that xorg crashes while starting if I load the glx module. Interestingly enough, it appears that this is a problem with my mouse in combination with the glx module. When I startx, the nVidia splash screen appears for a few seconds, then Xorg crashes before loading the mouse on screen. However, if I move the mouse WHILE the nVidia splash screen is up, Xorg crashes the second the mouse is touched. Inspecting my Xorg.0.log file somewhat confirms this since X seems to crash when adding my mouse to the server layout. Again, this is only a problem when glx is loaded. I am using a EVGA 6200 TourboCache, Xorg 6.9, and a USB mouse that gets "automagically" mapped to /dev/sysmouse at boot time (my PS/2 port is out of commission, so I've no alternative as far as a mouse is concerned). I've attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. xorg.conf.txt Xorg.0.log |

I wish you problem would be solved when Xorg-server 7.2 hit the ports tree by this week.

EDIT: the following does not actually "solve" my problem... i've found that it merely installs the MESA glx module over the nVidia one. The module loads, but direct rendering is unavailable with this module. Reinstalling nvidia-driver still causes the same error as mentioned above.
------------------------------------------------------------------- My apologies. I seem to have solved my own problem. I had added Code:
WITH_NVIDIA_GL Code:
portmanager -l -u -p Code:
portmanager x11/xorg -l -f -p I suppose this brings up a new question with regards to FreeBSD. In Gentoo, if I add a USE flag to my /etc/make.conf file, I can have portage check my entire system and rebuild any packages are altered by the addition of this flag with Code:
emerge --update --deep --newuse world Code:
revdep-rebuild |
