Re: Macbook Air late 2010 nvidia driver causing kernel panic
I've been Google'ing on this issue and I've found success stories of FreeBSD on Macbook Airs circa 2011-2013, but nothing earlier. One troubling thing I found in researching this issue: the GeForce 320M (which my research shows is used on the 2010 Macbook Air) was specially built for Apple and it has no onboard memory; it shares memory with the CPU. If this behavior is something the driver does not anticipate (i.e., support), I could easily see page faults being the result.
What happens if you run X without an xorg.conf file? What happens if you run X using the VESA driver. Still get your panics?
