FreeBSD Display Driver – x86

• Fixed a bug that caused kernel panics when starting X on some mobile GPUs.
• Fixed an interaction problem between VDPAU and PowerMizer when using VDPAU solely as a display mechanism, and not to decode video streams. The GPU performance level should now be raised, if required, in this scenario.
• Fixed VDPAU to avoid "display preemption" in some cases where a VdpOutputSurface is deleted while it is still active (either queued or visible) in a VdpPresentationQueue. In particular, this can occur in MPlayer when using the "-fs" option, and could completely prevent VDPAU from operating successfully, depending on the exact timing conditions.

- If you are using FreeBSD versions newer than 5.x, you will need to make sure that the 'compat5x' package is installed.
- The 'nvidia-settings' utility can be built from source (available from http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-185.18.36.tar.gz) if the binary included in the 185.18.36.tar.gz package doesn't work (e.g. due to a ports/ library version conflict).

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, tar xzf NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-185.18.36.tar.gz && cd NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-185.18.36 && make install

Then, edit your X configuration file so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used; this can normally be done by running nvidia-xconfig

See the README for more detailed instructions.
