Hi
I follow some guide in nvidia Threads in forum and also README of nVidia,
but without any success till now.
* it's work by "nv" driver, but not "nvidia"
* I had installed Xorg, then nVidia from Ports : x11/nvidia-driver
* I changed xorg.org by hand, nvidia-setting make things Worse

Update to nvidia-driver version 195.22 solved the problem
 
The NVIDIA driver is at 195.22. Now did you end up with 185.18.36?
 
$FreeBSD: ports/x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile,v 1.93 2009/09/29 13:25:25 danfe Exp $
DISTVERSION?= 185.18.36
NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-185.18.36.tar.gz
:\
 
Code: 
# $FreeBSD: ports/x11/nvidia-driver/Makefile,v 1.94 2009/12/15 00:08:08 danfe Exp $
PORTNAME=	nvidia-driver
DISTVERSION?=	195.22

That's on an up-to-date ports tree.
 
If you're trying to build a system cast in stone: trying to upgrade one thing will always lead to a domino effect. Either don't upgrade a single thing, or upgrade everything from a recent ports tree or package repository. Atomic upgrades are almost impossible.
 
DutchDaemon Your are right.
I'll give up nVidia and stay with nv.
Thanks for attentions

Not a solution, really. Why can't you update your ports tree and use latest x11/nvidia-driver?
 
I guess the best advice for new folks coming from Windows/Linux is to use ports and not wget or so. This is true even if port version is still below the one advertised on a site.
I believe our devs don't have too much time for porting of something if it would be just fine to download from proprietary site.
"My car is broken so I'd rather walk" indeed is not a solution :)

You're right, but nv work for me fun,
I can forget 3D for a while, until have a good experience in FBSD itself.
About Updating: I'm in middle of Learning/compiling with many source that I don't want to become forced for downloading new versions.

Exactly, for this reason and my desires too, I'm trying to migrate my Windows Programming skill (Software Concepts/Engineering/Abstrations) to FBSD with studying some FreeBSD native book/Article about dev/porting/arch, so that download from proprietary site, was for investigations.
Thanks all the same
