Installing Nvidia drivers 185.18.36

[pappy]

Hi everybody
I'm a new user to PC BSD and i have a question concerning the nvidia drivers!
As you might already guessed i want to install them since now i run on nv driver. I downloaded the drivers and the then the problems started.I tried to use the instructions from this topic
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=582&p=3176 (http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=582&p=3176).
And then i had to install cvsup (no success) also i had a problem with m3build (whatever that is) and so on.
Is there a comprehensive guide or even a post out there or in here that explains how to do all these things?
I know the question i have is not very original but can someone please help?
Thank you in advance
Dimitrios

The comprehensive guide:



Install FreeBSD source code for your system[/*:m:l3fjuomz]
Fetch an up to date ports tree[/*:m:l3fjuomz]
Install $PORTSDIR/x11/nvidia-driver[/*:m:l3fjuomz]
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - or whatever you're using (see man xorg.conf (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=xorg.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+Ports&format=html))[/*:m:l3fjuomz]

When possible you should use the source code tarball on the last PC-BSD install CD. Also remember that FreeBSD source code, compiled kernel modules (drivers), and the kernel in use: should always be kept in sync. I.e. recompile driver if you change kernel builds. Failure to do so can make the system unstable if you are not careful.

Problem solved with a little googling and by pay attention to details (like how to set up your cardand choose the proper driver!!!!)
