README for nvidia 1.0-6629+ **** IMPORTANT **** The POST-INSTALL only needs to be run *ONCE* after installing the nvidia port. It is *NOT REQUIRED* when upgrading the port if it has been run once when the port was originally installed. **** IMPORTANT **** *** 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 Rename /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to something else, such as libGL_so_1_2 and run /sbin/ldconfig. GL applications should then use the nvidia-installed /usr/lib/libGL.so instead. Rename /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a and libglx.a to something else, such as libGLcore.a.orig and libglx.a.orig. nvhelper.sh will do this for you (./nvhelper.sh --install) POST-REMOVE Rename /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL_so_1_2 (or whatever you called it) to libGL.so.1.2 and run /sbin/ldconfig. Also restore libglx.a and libGLcore.a in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions. nvhelper.sh will do this for you (./nvhelper.sh --restore)
