New nVidia AMD64 drivers - please, share your experience !
Hello, lads !
I'd like to start a new "high graphics usage/HD-torture/gaming thread  " for all of us to share experience, difficulties, headaches, and of course - knowledge  !I did see there was already a thread open, from a guy with a certain problem, but i just didn't want to "dilute" the guy's specific theme with this one. May the mods forgive me, if i have chosen the wrong place, and move this to a more appropriate nest  Well, my first experience besides the KDE4-environment, which seems to work well with the current 195.22-beta driver, is gaming with old-school "classic" games - RTCW. I'm pretty sure, most will agree, such games are really CULT, and that they just must exist for any possible platform ! Just before my switch to AMD64 (again, just after i knew a driver had been released), the game worked just fine under the i386 brand of FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE. Not this time, here's what's goin' on by me : Code:

I start suspecting the driver itself, because to my FreeBSD-newbie knowledge - everything that might cause troubles otherwise is in its place, reinstalling the driver/dri*/the game didn't help either... Has someone tried playing HD/heavy gaming with the new driver? Please, share your experience ! Thanx all in advance ! Unixworld Last edited by DutchDaemon; December 8th, 2009 at 00:59.

To me all work great and i can play Sauerbraten on full resolution and all graphics setting at max no lag but to warm I need to put fan on it to play game. my machine its a amd 6000+ processor. Plus my new graphic card G92 ASUS 9600 GSO, 2GB of ram on a ECS GeForce7050M-M motherboard With FreeBSD amd64. For the time I buy some fan. I open my case and I put a turbo fan by side my desktop. Its work great.
lol

@Giorgos: That’s expectable, because there is no glxinfo in FreeBSD like in Linux. No need to worry. You may wish to install graphics/mesa-demos for testing 3D.
@Unixworld: Signal 11 is pretty unspecific; if you think it’s worth it, you might want to compile RTCW with debug symbols and run it from gdb. I wouldn’t get my hopes up though.

Of all the things I've had to muck around trying to set up on FreeBSD 8 on my own AMD64 system, the nvidia driver has proven one of the easiest. As I recall, I got it from nvidia's site (following an online search) and just followed directions to have my Xorg using the new driver.
I haven't been able to test it with anything terribly demanding so far, but Warzone2100 runs like a champ, as does ppracer. The hardware is a PCIe PNY Geforce 8600 GT w/ 256 MB. I think it's a more solid performer with this system than it was with Fedora or Ubuntu.

The new driver is so great. FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE AMD64, GeForce 9800 GT, driver version 195.36.24.
I've got a dual head monitor config. Glexcess demo plays perfect, quake3 and all KDE3 openGL screensavers work fine All the developers have done a great job. Best regards

random x crashes with NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-195.36.15
I just installed the latest driver, and I'm getting random x crashes.
Haven't poked around at it much yet, but it is definitely driver related. It's quite unpredictable, sometimes X will run okay for a few minutes (but not for much longer than that).Only Xorg crashes, the kernel is fine. I'm hoping to read sth good on the subject, otherwise I'll get a backtrace and go from there ... I'll post back here if/when I figure out anything interesting. My hardware is a GTX295 PCI-e with a core i7. using FreeBSD 8.0-release with GENERIC kernel (fresh install, today) dual head Anyone have this driver working with a GTX2** card or newer? Anyone experiencing frequent random crashes? I'm not sure if there's anything "special" about the nvidia-driver port ... but I tried that as well, after manually installing the package from nvidia.com, no luck. I am hopeful! I really don't want to switch back to x86 or use an open source driver. Cheers

Use the port, and see what happens. And/or use the x11/nvidia-xconfig and x11/nvidia-settings ports to tweak.

got it working
FWIW do not use xinerama extension ... you want twinview or separate X screens anyway and that was the source of my crashes (narrowed it down carefully)
