some ideas --

The release notes for nvidia-driver 304.51 lists the 310M as supported.
Check that you have the latest version
Maybe try with driver nv instead of nvidia to see if the issue is the
driver.

kldstat | grep nvidia
to check that the nvidia kernel module has loaded.

Is there any helpful info in Xorg.0.log
Lines starting with (EE) are errors.
(WW) warning lines may also be helpful.

dmesg will show the startup log and may highlight any hardware
detection problems.

Have you installed x11/nvidia-settings? It is a gui app that should
show you all available resolutions.

The Xorg.conf from your archlinux install should produce the same
results on FreeBSD. Or at least give hints to what is configured wrong.

There is a chance that your linux install used a newer version of xorg
- 1.7 is default in ports but you can set WITH_NEW_XORG to build 1.10

geforce 310m CUDA problem

2012-10-07 Thread Ashkan Rahmani
hi
I'm really interesting to switch from Linux to FreeBSD for my personal use.
Currently I'm using Archlinux on my
Asus K52J notebook.
Unfortunately (for me of course) it has  geforce 310m cuda 1gb VGA, and it
seems this VGA is not supported by
FreeBSD.

After installing FreeBSD/PC-BSD resolution is about 800x600 and I can not
change it. Color depth is also terrible.
Configuring xorg.conf automatically or manually can not fix my problem.
installing nvidia driver from ports also can not fix my problem.

Notebook has NVIDIA Optimus technology and I don't know may be it's source
of my problem or not.

anybody know how I can solve this problem!?

PS: my friend has a dell 1555 notebook, and FreeBSD work nice and soft on
it! VGA is nvidia.
my very old notebook (acer) has ATI vga and FreeBSD work well too!
