**** NOTE for nvidia with udev ****
If using udev, add your user to the "video" group to be able to
use the nvidia devices required for 3d to function properly.
POST-INSTALL
Use opt/gl-select from ports to select the correct gl/glx
libraries and extensions like so:
# gl-select nvidia
POST-REMOVE
Use opt/gl-select from ports to revert to the x11r7 gl/glx
libraries and extensions like so:
# gl-select xorg
When UPGRADING/DOWNGRADING the nvidia port (where the version changes),
use gl-select to revert to xorg and then re-select nvidia in order to
refresh the libGLcore and libGL symlinks, like so:
# prt-get update nvidia-legacy-96xx
# gl-select xorg
# gl-select nvidia
NOTES:
The following GPUs are no longer supported in the regular NVIDIA Unified UNIX Graphics Driver. Instead, these GPUs will continue to be supported through special "Legacy GPU" drivers that will be updated periodically to add support for new versions of Linux system components (e.g., new Linux kernels, new versions of the X server, etc).
There are presently two Legacy GPU driver series. The 1.0-71xx series supports TNT, TNT2, GeForce 256, and GeForce2 GPUs. The 1.0-96xx series supports GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4, and Quadro4 GPUs. For a complete list of the GPUs supported in each of the Legacy GPU driver series, see the lists below.
The 1.0-96xx driver supports the following set of GPUs:
