First, i386 arches do not properly support 4GB of memory without PAE. The set of issues you will encounter without dealing with this first is somewhat unpredictable... though performance issues, broken hardware, etc is certainly possible. The ports issue is known. You might be interested in lookup up 32-bit compat on FreeBSD. The CPUTYPE is amd64 because at the time the instruction set was invented, and FreeBSD began supporting it, Intel had no plans to offer support for it, it was an AMD-only offering. Intel decided to support it, *after* the project did all of the fun work involved in supporting it, including naming everything amd64. AMD64 as an arch isn't always suitable for systems. Its load specific. In as far as nvidia.ko, and nv are concerned, I've run both of them without problems, on a wide range of hardware. You do need to make sure they're binding, instead of vesa, though. (Simply replace "vesa" with "nv" or "nvidia" in your xorg.conf)Received on Mon Oct 01 2007 - 02:51:49 UTC
