[Newbie]Anyone else have any other ideas -- Problems running XFree86 v 4.2 on FreeBSD

2002-07-01 Thread Desmond Lee
Hi James THat really sucks,... h. I'm kinda confused cause if the nv driver is installed it should be all good and the 'XFree86 -configure' should do the configuration for you. I'm no freebsd guru (i just picked it up last week) so i'm not really sure what to do. So, you said that you did

Well I've watched this thread for awhile now and thought I'd give my input. I have an Nvidia Quadra2 EX and I use the nv driver that comes with FreeBSD and it works great. I've attached a copy of my XF86Config file for you to examine. Maybe it will give you some clues as to what may work on y

Hey James >Yes. I thought that XFree86 came with the drivers. Is that right? >Did you have to download a driver seperately from the XFree86 install? I'm not too sure about this, cause XFree86 says that it'll support the card, as long as you use the "nv" driver. I think this may mean you need

Whoa! Ok. I posted a question on the FreeBSD-questions mailing list asking if Linux video card drivers could be used on FreeBSD, and I got the answer "Probably not." Well, at least now that I know it's been done (by you), it gives me some more hope. I'm going to read the docs about how to insta

Ahh well I'm sorry to hear that this didn't work for you. As for the Video Ram. yes it does have more but as you can see the nv driver takes care of it and those lines are actually commented out. Good luck and I hope you can find a solution Michael :o) On Monday 01 July 2002 11:49 am

Re: [Newbie]Use of X 'without' a window manager

2002-07-01 Thread Michael D Beams
If your embedded solution is character-cell only, or doesn't use X at all, you should be fine.  I believe X requires some kind of windows manager, like tiny X or tvm, for all graphical interfaces no matter what.   On Sun, 30 Jun 2002 13:34:09 -0400 "Tom Bednarchuk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

I took a look a the docs related to their Linux driver. They recommend gettin XFree86 up and running with either the "nv" driver or the standard "vga" driver before trying to install their "nvidia" driver. I'm starting to think that this isn't a driver problem, but something else. :( Thanks, -Ja
