"nv driver" as in i386 binary or xorg compiled-from-source?
Anyway, I took a shot at nouveau, but I didn't have much luck there, either. The long and short of it is that something was looking for a nouveau kernel module. Here's the tail end of my Xorg.0.log:
Code:
(II) Loading sub module "dri"
(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(II) Reloading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Loaded DRI module
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such file or directory)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau"
(EE) NOUVEAU(0): [dri] Failed to open the DRM
(EE) NOUVEAU(0): 1399:
(==) NOUVEAU(0): Write-combining range (0x0,0x1000) was already clear
(II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"
(II) UnloadModule: "dri"
(II) UnloadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Unloading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libvgahw.so
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) Unloading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libint10.so
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I didn't find any .ko files in the nouveau build tree or any options to the nouveau configure script to influence whether any get built, so I have to assume that's not available for FreeBSD, but I don't know how to tell X or DRM or whatever to not try to use one. I guess this one's just over my head or something.
