Hello all,
I have a box with a GeForce 4200 graphics card. This card is supported by the 96.43 driver, which I can install via the ports. However, when installing through the ports the GUI config tool (nvidia-settings) is not installed as part of the install. Instead, there is a different port for nvidia-settings, but this one defaults to the latest 310-driver, which supports the latest hardware only.
So I downloaded the 96.43 driver from the Nvidia site (because it is supposed to have the nvidia-settings tool), but it doesn't compile. When I then downloaded the nvidia-settings-96 tool, it, too, doesn't compile. Must be because originally these drivers were written for FreeBSD 7.x.
Anyone know of a way to get nvidia-settings for my card installed? (And why isn't it installed as part of the driver install?).
