Dear friends,
I'm still looking for help to solve the problem of my nvidia graphic card.
nvidia.ko doesn't seem able to create /dev/ndiviactl.
Synthesis
My system
Intel Centrino Duo T5300 HP Pavillion 6366 notebook 2GB mem
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4 i386
kernel compiled for SMP
Latest snapshot of the ports
1) I installed and compiled the /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver with default
options and /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-xconfig; because loader.conf was not
automatically modified I added a nvidia_load=YES to loader.conf and
rebooted the pc, therefore:
2) victor$ kldstat

3) I generated a basic xorg.conf file running a mere nvidia-xconfig that I
tailored only tailored for language.
4) startx fails. The system declares
NVIDIA: could not open the device /dev/nvidiactl
(as a matter of fact there isn't!)
