spelled incorrectly
hi all,
I try to compile (make) the nVidia driver for a GeForce 4200 in FreeBSD...the makefile fails with Quote:
Thanks Thor |
what about that tar ball name is spelled wrong ?
NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-96.43.23.tar.gz that is a tarbal of the OLD unsupported 96 driver for the antique unsupported GForce 2 and 4 cards from 2001 to 2003 i should KNOW i have a Gforce 2 mx400 from 2001 on a old box your card is a "GeForce4 Ti 4200" or a "GeForce4 4200 Go " ?????? mind you the 96 driver is restricted to the OLD xorg less that 1.12 newer versions of X11 CAN NOT !!! be used with the 96 driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd...23-driver.html extract the archive cd into the newly created folder and run "make" as root did you READ that makefile ?

so I'm kinda stuck...
I cannot generate a conf file...maybe it's due to that edit - of course...X now is clever enough not to need a conf... Edit 2 - THAT...was not the makefile I had...I'll reboot and try, hang on |
the "Makefile" i posted is directly from the tarbal from the nvidia site ( the link i posted)
also your installed version of xorg HAS!! TO!! BE !! 1.12 or 1.11 1.13 or 1.14 or 1.15 will NOT work also see the "additional " Quote:

I"ll need to check that...oh well, the box works (there is a screen, and it lights up woohoo) and I'm not using any 3D on it anyway, would have been great...

i have a ScientificLinux 6 box with a downgraded X11 from 1.15 to 1.12
in order to use the 96 driver for the GF2 card ( or install Sl 5.11) the same would be true for freebsd downgrade and lock xorg but for 2D just make sure that the xorg.conf has "nv" as the driver that is the OLD 2d only driver built into the kernel |
...seems a lot of work for a box where no 3D work will be done with anyway, and now, the kernel needs a recompuile, because OSS does not support the current card...maybethis is way out of my league...
