Default FreeBSD NVidia driver installation
I've just downloaded the latest (stable) NVidia blob - 173.14.09.

I've been trying to work out if that is going to fit onto my system (7.0). It makes mention of 6.0 in their documentation, but can anyone give me some shortcut information please (sorry, I know that is not the BSD way..

Anyway - what are the steps for installing this that I should be aware of, apart from what they document there.

While I'm about it - has anyone registered on NVForums? Is the support good?

The nvidia drivers works on FreeBSD 7, installation instructions, configuration etc. is all the same on FreeBSD 6 and 7.

The easiest way to install the nvidia driver is through ports:
# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver && make clean install clean

That goes awry in the compilation stage:
Code:
cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -DNV_VERSION_STRING=\"169.12\" -D__KERNEL__ -DNVRM -UDEBUG -U_DEBUG -DNDEBUG -O -Werror -D_KERNEL -DKLD_MODULE -std=c99 -nostdinc  -I/src -I. -I@ -I@/contrib/altq -finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param large-function-growth=1000 -fno-common  -mno-align-long-strings -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -ffreestanding -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes  -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual  -Wundef -Wno-pointer-sign -fformat-extensions -c nvidia_ctl.c

admittedly I didn't select the agp option. I've got a PCI-E card.

to compile nvidia-driver AFAIK you need the same source code present
upon which your kernel was compiled (not any earlier or later usually)
might be the problem there.

You are compiling an old version..?

Why are you using x11/nvidia-driver-71xx and not x11/nvidia-driver?

Is the compat6x package still needed for the nvidia-driver?

Make sure you have the kernel source installed.

Do I need to include the kernel source somehow during the install?

Hmmm... Try changing nv-freebsd.h so that it includes 'agp/agpvar.h' instead of 'pci/agpvar.h'

I edit that using a sudo session, try the make again, it fails then I go into the file and see it has changed back to pci

What version of FreeBSD, post full output of uname -a.

btw, dev/agp/agpvar.h exist only on FreeBSD 8.

Could you also give us the contents of /var/db/ports/nvidia-driver/options

As mentioned above it is 7 release, but I'll run uname tonight.

Code:
FreeBSD ironteeth.home 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008     root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
is my generic 7 release uname result.

More interestingly I'm seeing this from the var/db/ports entry for the driver:
Code:
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for nvidia-driver-169.12
_OPTIONS_READ=nvidia-driver-169.12
WITHOUT_FREEBSD_AGP=true
WITHOUT_VM86_INT10CALL=true
WITH_ACPI=true
WITH_LINUX=true
However, I carried out a ports update a while ago and this should be the later driver? Or am I missing something...

OK. It's interesting: the old version ports are slave ports - don't bother if you don't understand what that means - so their options will appear here. Everything should work, but don't be afraid to delete that file if it worries you: if you do, all that happens is that the options screen will show when you next attempt to build that port.
