Hi.
I have two question. I hope what someone helps me.
First:
I have NVidia fx5600 and installs drivers from
/usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
# cat /boot/loader.conf
hw.ata.ata_dma=0
nvidia_load="YES"
linux_load="YES" # Linux emulat

I think the stack is getting (somewhat) smashed so there's no real way to

I'm not positive, but looking at the code this is what happens.
first an object is allocated, then it goes and finds some nvidia specific
data structure contained in that object (from what I can tell), then it
calls rm_alloc_agp

nv_alloc_pages never actually calls atomic_clear_short(), but it does call
several functions that

I'm posting this here because of a panic I'm getting using the FreeBSD

No, they're working on it, and actually have GL running in the lab.

And what's the latest about the Nvidia drivers? It's mentioned that
Nvidia has plans to produce the drivers for FreeBSD. I'd be happy to know
what's going on in that issue too.

I'm interested, I've just been busy thats all. I haven't had a chance to play
with the drivers yet.
Thanks David!

Hi,
Just thought I would mention my -STABLE NVidia drivers have been working for
the past week, as far as 2D and XVideo goes. Available on CVS at

This day is something I've been looking forward to, nvidia hardware
acceleration for XFree86 4.x. The kernel module loads, but the
nvidia_drv.o bails out complaining about failed to allocate dma fb.. I
dont think that's your code causing it of course, but do you have any idea
what might?

Hi,
I've uploaded the nvidia driver code I've been working on to the CVS repository
at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nv-bsd, if anyone wants to take a look.
It is still work in progress, but has come a long way. In particular you
can see the dmesg output when X is started at:

So, given a working FreeBSD-speci
actually you're not even getting kernel driver source for linux. What
you're getting is an ugly binary blob that looks like the guts of an NT
driver, plus enough source stuff to let the kernel hook to the binary
blob. It's not pretty. And, as you might expect, it's a little prone to
failure.

Moving to hackers@, where most discussions regarding the NVIDIA drivers
seem to take place lately.

From what I've been told - FreeBSD's kernel is unable to run Linux's
kernel modules. Hence, the source provided by nVIDIA for
Does anybody have the new nvidia drivers working yet? Aparently I'm not
as smart as I thought. :)
