I use an Nvidia 8800GT in a Mac Pro running -STABLE with the xf86-video-nv-2.1.8 driver from ports back when I last upgraded and it works fine. The driver info in my Xorg.0.log doesn't explicitly mention the 8800GTX though. However, there is an entry for it in the 2.1.9 nv_driver.c (which is what's currently in the port tree). I'm driving a dual-link monitor (30" Dell 3007-WFP) and needed to hack 2.1.8 to re-enable dual-link support that the author had disabled because it would work reliably in some situations and not at all in others (depending on how the bios initialized the card, if I understand his response). In 2.1.9 he made re-enabling the support a xorg.conf configuration option (see the Changelog entry for 5/9). g. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
