# nvidia-driver を入れている人がどれだけ居るのか未知数ですが…。

OpenGLぐりぐりの screensaverを滑らかに見たいとかそういうどうでも
良い理由から x11/nvidia-driverを、FreeBSD 4.9 に入れてみました。
作業手順としては以下の通り

# portinstall x11/nvidia-driver
# cd /etc/X11
# cp XF86Config XF86Config.org
# vi XF86Config
# diff -u XF86Config.org XF86Config
--- XF86Config.org  Tue Mar 16 14:13:10 2004

あと5.*系ではないので、USER_LDT, SYSVSHMを有効にしてカーネルを
再構築しました。再構築後、再起動をかけて xinit すると

と、失敗してしまいます。ちなみに今まで、nVIDIA Quadro4 380, 
nVIDIA GeForce4Ti 4800, nVIDIA GeForceFX 5900 全てで同様の
結果の陥っています。

nvidia-driverを使ってXの起動に漕ぎ付けたいのですが、どなたか
助言を頂ければ幸いです。
