I seem to be moving forward SLOWLY, but Im not sure there
is any light at the end of the tunnel.
To Date I have
(1) been able to build the nvidia-driver-304, but not install it
(2) with lots of help from the list, I was able to run single user
get the file systems mounted, and try the install again.
It still doesn't install. The error message from the installer reads
(roughly,- I had to copy this to paper, they type it back in to this
message)
pkg-static: nviia-driver-304-304.25 conflicts with nvidia-driver-340.24
(installs in the same place). Problematic file:
/usr/local/bin/nvidia-bug-reuport.sh
XXX Error Code 70
Stop
Now the 340 driver is the one supplied with FreeBSD, and it does NOT
support my card, the older, legacy driver 304.25 does, so it is my
intention to overwrite it...
I could have saved a lot of time by just buying a new (supported) video
card for this machine, but at least I learning a lot about FreeBSD with
all these problems.
So, any suggestions???
