Configure Xorg for new graphic card in FreeBSD 9.2

[reza]

I installed FreeBSD 9.2 after that installed X11 and gnome desktop from ports and run Xorg -configure, but my on-board graphic card (this) didn't work properly and I do lot of googling until I saw this and realized that FreeBSD does not support my on-board graphic card yet, so I decide to use PCI graphic card (Zotac 210 1GB DDR3, it uses Nvidia chip-set). So after reboot and login to CLI I use this command Xorg -configure but after running this command nothing happened and my PC crash and I should restart it. Can anybody help me? (Note: before I run Xorg -configure I installed nvidia-driver and nvidia-settings from ports.)

Don't run Xorg -configure. Follow the instructions I posted here: Thread display-problems.50620/#post-283785 with the difference that you should use x11/nvidia-driver-340 instead of x11/nvidia-driver for your card.

But what I don't understand is why you installed FreeBSD 9.2 and not 9.3 or 10.1? You should upgrade first.

Agreed. FreeBSD 9.2 is end-of-life since December 2014 and not supported any more.

It should be relatively easy to update to 9.3.
