X11 setup using nvidia driver

[lokiseto]

The GPU is supported as mentioned in Appendix A
NVIDIA GeForce 9300M G

Copied into /usr/ports/distfiles, but during [cmd=]make install clean[/cmd]
NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-270.41.19

I receive various error messages

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
nvidida_linux.c: In function 'linux_ioctl_nvidia' :
nvidida_linux.c:40 warning: passing argument 3 of 'fget' makes integer from pointer without a cast (mhm)

Why not just install x11/nvidia-driver, which is at v280.13?

The error message is identical

same output as stated previously :q

Hi

You have issue regarding fget function which should take 3 arguments (yes, i know we can read that from compiler output as a warning). However, somehow during linking with kbuild, some changes are not applied to your source files, especially nvidia-linux.c.

Below i present small patch, which can help you in your case:

--- nvidia-linux.c-last 2011-07-28 01:56:14.000000000 +0200
+++ nvidia-linux.c      2011-09-20 10:28:02.000000000 +0200
@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@
     int error;
     u_long cmd;
 
-    if ((error = fget(td, args->fd, &fp)) != 0)
+    if ((error = fget(td, args->fd, 0, &fp)) != 0)
         return error;
 
     cmd = args->cmd;

You can put that patch-nvidia-linux.c into ${PORTS}/x11/nvidia-driver/files directory, and build should be completed without any issue , I guess.

Please be patient, that work should be automate by make, perhaps check your /usr/src once more because.

How can I install Xorg without being online

I have the 8.2 and the 9.0 Beta2 available.

If I exeute as root

# cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg
# make install clean

output is

===> Installing for xorg-7.5.1
===> xorg-7.5.1 depends on file: /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/dri.pc - not found

also
MesaLib is missing from /usr/ports/distfiles/ and cannot be fetched from ftp obviously

so this post should really stand at the beginning of the thread

Have you updated you ports collection? If not, please do so, and and try again.
