Problems with Nvidia driver

Hello all.
I have a problem with nvidia driver.
I maked....

cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
make install clean
Good :D

cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-xconfig
make install clean
Good :D

cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-settings
make install clean
Good :D

I added in /boot/loader.conf:
nvidia_load"YES
WITHLINUX=yes

I added in /etc/rc.conf
linux_enable="YES"
compat5x_enable="YES"

I added in /compat/linux/etc/host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on

I added in xorg.conf
http://pastebin.com/m4f8eee48

I haven't got accelerarion effects ='(
Can help me?
Thanks you

That should be
Code:
nvidia_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"

How do you know this? Are you using the BSD or the nVidia agp chipset support?

Sorry, I dont' put the nvidia card.
Nvidia 7300 is PCI (256MB)
 
Nothing appears to be wrong in that log file.

Specifically, what problem are you having? What, exactly, are you doing and what do you expect to happen?

Looks fine to me too, both 2D and 3D acceleration is turned on.
 
Hello, mmm....
But i haven't got aceleration :(
I can't open Quake3, Openarena can open with the very very slow velocity.... caput!
I haven't got desktop effects and Stellarium is very slow slow slow... velocity...
=(
 
Desktop effects? You mean like compiz-fusion? Did you actually install it? Is it running?

Try running quake/openarena from an xterm window, it will probably spit out a few messages that will contain clues. Same goes for stellarium.

Aside from type1 and freetype modules. Comment them out from xorg.conf.

However these errors don't implicate anything negative, the log show you have loaded nvidia's module with success.

Did you upgrade xorg-server after installing nvidia's drivers? If so reinstall them.

Can you post Quake3's error? Follow SirDice's advice on how to get the errors.

make reinstall in xorg and xorg-libraries some errors.
# cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries && make deinstall clean && make install clean && cd /usr/ports/xorg && make deinstall clean && make install clean

No errors founds with my code.
Haven't, haven't got aceleration.
=(
 
You got that backwards. The issue is that if you update xorg after installing the nVidia driver, it overwrites nVidia's version of certain libraries with the xorg version. Those use software rather than hardware acceleration, so they is slow.

Now that you have done so, you *must* reinstall the nVidia driver.

That you were not able to install the mesa-demos actually is a good sign, since they don't install if you have nVidia installed.

You should also check that the kldstat command lists nvidia.ko.
 
I've installed mesa-demos while having the nvidia drivers installed. If mesa-demos won't build, I'd be interested in knowing what error he is getting.

That has never, ever worked for me. In fact, the only way I can update them is if I have updated xorg and before I have reinstalled nVidia.

The OP also has not asnwered if he is using the FreeBSD or nVidia AGPGART. The former is slower.
 
I put this information in a file in /xorg-server/.
...
the following ports should be updated thusly:
libdrm
dri
libGL
libGLw
xorg-server
libGLU
libglut
kldunload nvidia (if applicable)
kldload nvidia
mesa-demos, glclock, glexcess,,,, (not yet in the
list precisely.
Because I also have those on a sticky-note, I
am comfortable with not upgrading until necessary.
And I do not upgrade any without upgrading all for
fear of breaking the Xorg server or graphics app's
or xorg.conf...

longer run X for any reason. They might not have
this information (if it is indeed 100 percent
accurate).
 
Well, I've not found it to be that involved. I just update the xorg server and the various other files in the xorg metaport (portupgrade -R xorg), then do the mesa-demos and the like, and then reinstall nvidia with -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER if there has been no version change. If there has been, I do a portupgrade on that. If there's no xorg change, then you can update nvidia as you like.
 
Well, I hardly ever use portupgrade because I need
to know precisely when the build will finish, the
computer is only on a few hours at a time.

No, I'm using kdeplasma (4.2.3)

The kldload nvidia not exist.
kldload: can't load nvidia: File exists
:S
The nvidia driver is installed...
I don't know.
Repeat, My card is PCI Xpress not AGP...

I reinstalled nvidia driver and update the xorg-libraries and xorg.
Nothing...

The right order is: NVIDIA last. If you upgrade X.org after NVIDIA, you're back where you started. The NVIDIA libraries must overwrite the X.org ones.
 
Make sure you don't have any mistypes in loader.conf and rc.conf.

/boot/loader.conf:
Code:
nvidia_load="YES"

/etc/rc.conf:
Code:
linux_enable="YES"
