Hello, thanks for the information. I tried today's current with the new nvidia driver and here are my first rough experiences: - I adjusted Makefile and distinfo from 6113 to 7174, then removed all patches for 6113 in directory files and put here just one patch for nv-freebsd.h, which removes above mentioned error. There seems to be needed more adjustments for the port, but wow - I'm able after very long time with my NVidia FX5200 to switch between graphics and text mode again - great. - However when updating to the todays -current, I had to disable atapicam from my kernel, because it stopped my system from booting. It hanged after acd1 message - here are the last booting lines: ... sym0: <875> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xfbefec00-0xfbefecff,0xfbefd000-0xfbefdfff irq 5 at device 9.0 on pci2 sym0: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware. sym0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ...

However removing atapicam from kernel configuration seems to be sufficient. In kernel without atapicam, kldload atapicam seems that it does nothing, kldunload atapicam panics the system with current process = 33 (swi2: cambio). -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech RepublicReceived on Mon May 09 2005 - 14:48:28 UTC
