Hello

here I found an interesting discussion.

http://www.nabble.com/nvidia-Quadro-...html#a15190037

It would be helpful to find out where to discuss the topic and what debug logfiles to submit.

xfree86 is still in business? will it all be replaced with X.org ?
can I have both server installed?

on this machine I have this configuration

I'm not quite sure if it is 64 or 32 bits, but I hope the file configuration data can help.

The card did work on OpenBSD and debian linux. I "think" that was 64 bit.

What can I do please?


I haven't tried the vesa driver, but I noticed I could use firefox, if the resolution was low.
on larger resolution I observed keyboard freeze. I have tried the NetBSD Live CD and that worked.

How do I enable the VESA driver ? is it valid for x86_64 ?
