Just updating this thread,
The open source nv driver doesn't support the GeForce 91xx "embedded/motherboard" GPU's yet. Adding support for it (..2D) should be as simple as adding the vendor/product combo to the NVKnownChipsets structure in nv_driver.c. The 2D nouveau driver matches on family not chipset, so it should work automatically on your card. Can you tell us if you resolved the issue? |

Dear All:
Thank you so much for your time and detailed replies! This is incredibly generous of you! Thank you. I decided to bite the bullet and buy new wireless and graphics cards. The lesson for me is that I will do *very* extensive research before buying any new computer. Also, I will never buy another Nvidia product in my life Anyway, I will post again if I run into install problems. As a side comment on my experience so far, I am absolutely amazed by the quality of OpenBSD. I have nothing against the others (in fact, I want all 3 on my HD), but the cleanliness and clear documentation of OpenBSD are outstanding! Thanks again for your time! |

@BSDfan
Sorry I forgot to answer your question! Following your suggestion, I just installed the xf86-video-nouveau package (8.0RC1 AMD64) and ran # X - configure The configuration seems to have worked, but testing the X server with: # X -config /root/xorg.conf.new results in a core dump. Over the weekend I will install the new wireless and graphics cards and will let you know. Thank you anyway for your help! |
