I installed the nvidia driver for my graphics card and it works well with the system. The nvidia install scripts added the following to /boot/loader.conf:
However, the driver module (/boot/modules/nvidio.ko) does not load automatically when the system is booting. If I load the driver manually,
[cmd=]kldload /boot/modules/nvidio.ko[/cmd]
then X11 comes up via XDM after the module loads. I checked /var/run/dmesg.boot, and there was nothing in there regarding the nvidia driver.
How can I set up FreeBSD to load this driver during boot? Do I need to add the kldload command to a RC script?
My platform is FreeBSD 8.2 on i386. My video card is also an AGP card if that matters.
Code:
nvidia_load="YES"
