Re: Nvidia-driver and current lead system reboot with no error message

Hallo Harry,

for version 100.14.11 (after unpacking the tarball) I had to make four 
changes before I had been able to install:

1. set environment variable 'X11BASE' to '/usr/local'

2. Delete lines 24-26 in 'src/nv-freebsd.h' (test for FreeBSD version 
 >=70000)

3. Change '${X11BASE}/lib/modules[...]' to 
'${X11BASE}/lib/xorg/modules[...]' in Makefiles under 
x11/[driver,extension,lib]

4. Change '/usr/X11R6/lib/modules[...]' to 
'/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules[...]' in 'doc/html/appendix-b.html'


Don't forget to delete any installed x11/nvidia-driver* port before 
installing this new driver version.

Hope this helps,
Rainer
