looks like x11/nvidia-driver-173 should work for an FX5500.

Did you install the driver from ports? Or did you download & install it manually? I would highly recommend using the x11/nvidia-driver-173 port.
First, remove any and all nvidia-driver* ports with: # pkg_delete Then reinstall graphics/libGL: # cd /usr/ports/graphics/libGL && make clean build deinstall install clean The install the x11/nvidia-driver-173 port: # cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver-173 && make clean install clean Add nvidia_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf if it isn't there already. Also add linux_enable="yes" to /etc/rc.conf if you compiled the driver with linux support. Reboot, this is sometimes needed for the nvidia driver. Make sure the kernel driver sees your nVidia card: % dmesg | grep nvidia If it still doesn't work, post your xorg.conf. |

dmesg | grep nvidia
nvidia0: <GeForce FX 5500> on vgapci0 vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_busmaster vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED] nvidia0: [ITHREAD] but as i said i have to keep installig nvidia on each reboot i am going to try what you said about reinstalling the graphics/libGL is build deinstall clean the same really as make deinstall clean?
