As Brian noted, a TNT2 works great with the "nv" driver, although you may also have to adjust your "Monitor" and "Screen" sections of your XFree86 config file to work with your monitor. A reference I found very useful in understanding XFree86 configurations was "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey, Chapter 28. Also the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html Here are the relevant portions of my XFree86 config file for my system with the TNT2 card (note: your BusID is probably different): more /etc/X11/XF86Config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection [snip] Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 370 270 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "DEL" ModelName"DELL P991" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "SWcursor" # [] #Option "HWcursor" # [] #Option "NoAccel" # [] #Option "ShowCache" # [] #Option "ShadowFB" # [] #Option "UseFBDev" # [] #Option "Rotate"# [] #Option "VideoKey" # #Option "FlatPanel" # [] #Option "FPDither" # [] #Option "CrtcNumber"# Identifier "Card0" Driver "nv" VendorName "nVidia Corporation" BoardName "NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]" BusID "PCI:1:9:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" DefaultDepth24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: NVidia Riva TNT2 64 ?
FWIW, I have that card and it seems to work just fine using the "nv" driver. When you are given choices in the "helper" programs for XFree86 setup, just choose the nearest descrptor you can find which uses that "nv" driver. You could also write that "nv" manually into your XF86Config file, if you prefer. -- Regards, Brian ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: NVidia Riva TNT2 64 ?
I can't comment on the video cards, but the realtek NIC chipset might cause you some problems. I recently had to replace a realtek based NIC in a lowend server with a 3com because of oversized packets in the logs and the server would halt after about a week up. If you are using the machine casually it should be ok, but if you plan to leave it up I'd recommend getting a different NIC. Sound blaster live cards should work in later 5.x releases. I know 5.2.1 suports them. AMD processors work really well with FreeBSD. On Jun 22, 2004, at 5:46 PM, hemepar wrote: Dear Friends : I´m trying to install a 5.0 FreeBSD and, after my tenth try...
