Hi Folks, I'm having trouble getting the nvidia.ko recognizing my nvidia card. As far as I understood the nvidia website, the card itself should be supported. To the facts: vgapci0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x023810de chip=0x00fe10de rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Nvidia Corp' device = 'NVBR02GL Quadro FX 1300' class = display subclass = VGA when kldloading: nvidia0: <Unknown> on vgapci0 vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_busmaster vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED] nvidia0: [ITHREAD] this is a recent port of nvidia-driver: pkg_info nvidia-driver-173.14.12 The 177.* driver seems to be the wrong one, according to dmesg: NVRM: The NVIDIA Quadro FX 1300 GPU installed in this system is NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 173.14.xx Legacy drivers. Please NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more NVRM: information. The 177.80 NVIDIA driver will ignore NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe... That's why I installed x11/nvidia-driver-173/ I'm just csup'ing the latest RELENG_7 to recompile world, although I doubt that it helps. FreeBSD right now is: FreeBSD motor.mobile.rz 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0: Wed Sep 10 18:39:19 CEST 2008 root@motor:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC any idea how to get the nvidia kernel driver up 'n' running? I'd really like to get rid of xorg's nv driver and use nvidia instead... Complete dmesg can be found here: http://crivens.kernel32.de/~rabauke/FreeBSD/dmesg-7.1-10thsep.txt Complete pciconf -lv here (the hostbridge entries are suspicious): http://crivens.kernel32.de/~rabauke/FreeBSD/pciconf-lv-10thsep.txt TIA, Marian
