Yes I just installed the nvidia drivers for my TI 4200 card and ymessenger crashes the machine, it just makes some clicking sounds from the sound card and then reboots without syncing disks. I am running Xfree 4.2.0_1, libraries 4.2.1_3, server 4.2.1_5 and client 4.2.1_2 this is greater than required by the nvidia instructions. The driver did get rid of the missing pixels in the xterm window but you cant use the machine reliable anymore. I am getting this error in netscape now also, translation table unknown keysym name somekeyname I tried deinstalling it and reinstalling 4.8 without change. next is to change the xserver driver and see if that changes anything. I just downloaded and tried out quake3 demo. worked fine. no crashes. i have to try out the timedemo and ut2003. Running 'timedemo demoname' will give me the fps, right? Rather than instantaneous, can I get an average fps with this command? Regards Gautham To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

The release notes say: - FreeBSD -STABLE, version 4.7 or later which should include 4.7-RELEASE. There have been various reports around the mailing lists of people getting the nvidia drivers working on other versions, including 5-CURRENT, but NVIDIA won't support that. 4.7-STABLE won't have ISOs, right? Probably not, but see http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/FBSDsites.php3 for sites where you can do a network install of a more recent snapshot. Or read Chapter 21 of the Handbook about how to track -STABLE: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: nVidia drivers w/ 4.7-RELEASE
Yep - I'm using them on 4.7-RELEASE right now. Myth II runs great :) Quake 3, Wolfenstein, tuxracer, and UT2003 all work on my machine. However, ut2003 refused to work on my hardware while using the nvidia agpgart. I had to switch to using FreeBSD's agpgart.
