FreeBSD X11 on PowerMac 11,2
Recently i installed FreeBSD on my PowerMac 11,2. I have an nVidia 6600 inside it and i use the following xorg.conf for it:
Code:
Section "Device" Identifier "Generic FB" Driver "nv" EndSection Running sysctl hw.ofwfb.relax_mmap=1 before it did not help. Any ideas? |

Since FreeBSD opened their own forum a few years ago, it has been rather quiet here in the FreeBSD sections. You could try their forum at https://forums.freebsd.org

No avail. |

There was no mention of the propriatary drivers that NVidia writes for the FreeBSD OS in your forum post at the FreeBSD forum. Because of the availability of the propoiatary video drivers, there is not alot of incentive for the FreeBSD developers to use the nv driver.
|

The proprietary drivers are only available for x86. My question concerned the PowerPC64 version of FreeBSD; there's only the "nv" driver there.

I suggest searching the mailing lists... It looks like that sysctl may have been removed and most searches seem to give results relevant to FreeBSD 8... so far as I can tell it was removed because it's now the defaut anyway since FreeBSD 10. So messing with that might be futile.
However there was a more recent and more relevant bug report a few years ago and it was fixed, so perhaps a regression? https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/sh....cgi?id=188278 Perhaps file a bug report and reference that bug? |

The scfb driver works, but the colors are all messed up. The Vesa also does not work. And sysctl is still present, but the suggested variable belonged to the radeon driver.
