Default NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-290.10 FreeBSD 9.0
Hi all,

i just updated my freebsd FreeBSD box to 9.0 RELEASE and I tried to rebuild my NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-290.10 device driver.

Here my post on NVnews forum:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=171974

While waiting for new updated release any idea how to patch the current driver for FreeBSD 9.0?

Ciao
Roberto

You could try modifying the nvidia-driver port makefile to pull the version you want. You'd also do a makechecksum or build with NO_CHECKSUM=yes

Yep, that's what I did. Just change this line in the Makefile:
Code:
DISTVERSION?=   285.05.09
to:
Code:
DISTVERSION?=   290.10
And run # make makesum The port should build fine after that.
