Well I've got an nVidia Geforce 4 MX 4000. Everything is okay but beryl doesn't work with the vesa(default). Actually I've got a pretty old CRT monitor which by nature isn't too bright. The controls present in my monitor doesnt do any good with brightness. But in windows I could adjust the Gamma Brightness and Contrasts from my nVidia driver app. I've found that PcBSD also has these options but unfortunately they doesn't work with vesa.
Trying with nVidia 7xxx I've only managed to get a maximum of 640x480 resolution which is hard to work with and often end up freezing the pc.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is any driver good enough to work with my Graphics card. I don't want beryl it would be enough for me if there is any way to make those gamma brightness and contrast setting work. :)

Thanx

I hane geforce 4 mx 400 too and it works fine with nvidia drivers. Maybe it's your monitor issue?

Well thanx for the help. :-) Actually people around thought its a pretty old model so they suggested the nvidia7xxx driver which unfortunately wasn't the right choice,not atleast for my card. I tried with nvidia 7xxx and only managed to get a maximum 640x480_70hz and my pc would freeze very often. So I decided to checkout the nvidia 9xxx and magically it solved the problem. Best of all its working fine and 3D Accelerator is workin too. :-)

But anyway thanx for the suggestion cuz I still have some problem with refresh rate. I guess its really related to my old crt monitor :-)

Hi

I know this is an old post, but i didnt know if it was right to open a new one to ask more or less the same questions...

I actually have an ati radeon 9550 (rv 350) 256mb ddr agpx8, but It only works with the vesa driver...

Ive got as well a nvidia gforce mx 400 64mb agpx4, and if Im going to get a better resolution and behaviur , I could think about changing it...

Im actually running pcBSD 8...what do yu think about this?

Thank you
