G'day


I'm a new PC BSD user and I've hit a wall right out of the box :P When I select the latest drivers that came with PCBSD (NVidia 100.14.11) the system just hangs, and my monitor enters sleep mode :cry:

I downloaded the latest drivers from NVidia for Free BSD (PC BSD is based on Free BSD right ?), I got it compiled after installing the kernel source (it wasn't installed by default for some weird reason), but it too hung the system when I tried to use it, which make sense since it was the same version as the one that came with PCBSD :mrgreen:


So now I've got no idea's what to do, any ideas ?

It would seem your graphics card isn't supported by the latest nVidia driver.

Which graphics card are you using?

It's a 6600GT.
