Hi ; I'm using NVIDIA GEFORCE 5200
And when i want to update my nvidia driver i got this :

" nvidia-driver-195.22 requires fairly recent FreeBSD-STABLE, or FreeBSD-CURRENT "


Buy a new HARDWARE ???

Solved manally but :
libdbe.so /libdr.si libglx.so librecord.so libdri2.so

has been outdated !
or not updated yet

freebsd 7.2-RELEASE xorg7-4

No one is forcing you to buy newer hardware, the release you are using just lacks features needed to run new NVidia driver. Wait for 7.3, or use -STABLE if you really need new driver.

What do you mean by "outdated" here?

And, please, start new thread if your answer/question is unrelated to the topic discussed here.
 
The latest NVIDIA driver needs kernel features which are only available in FreeBSD 8 and FreeBSD 7.3 (to be released, maybe already MFC'd to 7.2-STABLE?). You're on 7.2-REL, so your kernel lacks these features.

Upgrade your OS to 7.2-STABLE (may not have the kernel features yet), to FreeBSD 8.0, or wait for FreeBSD 7.3. Simple as that.
