Default Legacy GeForce4 MX 440, fails to start X
So I have this old can, which is running 8.1 RELEASE and has GeForce4 MX 440 (NV17) 0x0171
According to official docs, I need legacy driver nvidia-driver-9*:

Here are my configs:
Code:
===> The following configuration options are available for nvidia-driver-96.43.19:
     FREEBSD_AGP=off "Use FreeBSD AGP GART driver"
     ACPI_PM=off "Enable support for ACPI Power Management"
     LINUX=off "Build with support for Linux compatibility"
I've put in /boot/loader.conf
Code:
hint.agp.0.disabled="1"
And in xorg.conf, set:
Code:
Option     "NvAgp" "1"
Here is log:

Code:

Default hmmm...
I've got the same graphics card, and I'm trying to find AMD x64 drivers (not much luck yet) for it. I'm new to FreeBSD, but if it would help I could try installing a 32 bit version to see if I have similar issues or could give some feedback that might help you out!

That would be helpful

Just do this:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver-96
make install clean

The driver is simply not detecting the card. I know it said to use the 96.x version but did you try the 'regular' version? I'm not sure exactly when support for the MX440 got added.

Yep!
And what is worse, there are absolutely no errors, of any kind, anywhere. I think I've tried version above, like 17* or something like that, but as this is card in server, where I startx, maybe twice in a month, isn't a priority.

I already have nvidia card in my laptop se tup and working.

In that case all I can suggest is to post your problem on the NVnews forum. That site is also read by the NVidia developers.

A "gift" Dell Dimension 4300 came with an AGP GeForce MX 440. The free nv driver seems to work adequately for desktop/browsing use.

That already works for me, too.
Once X is started, I want 3D and hardcore, eye candy Desktop, aka cairo-dock, etc ...
I hate "low level" desktops ...
I'll hit a road with NVforums, to bltch there, a little bit ...

"3D and hard core, eye candy Desktop" is barely going to be usable with video card.

I don't understand, what you wanted to say. Usable in which way? I have it set up on my laptop and it works with latest nvidia drivers and quadro 135 graphic.

Desktop Effects and 3D acceleration in general are going to be very slow with a GeForce4 MX 440.

I need 3D acceleration ONLY for desktop effects, not for a games or so, so it's power will suffice.
Also resolution is only 1024x768 (17"), so ...
