README for nvidia 1.0-8178+ ***** NOTE for users of NV2X chipsets!!! ***** 1.0-9629 is confirmed broken for cards with NV2X chipsets, see: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=79703. Until a new version is released, use 1.0-9626 or 1.0-8776. ********************************************** *** 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 x11 gl/glx libraries and extensions like so: # gl-select x11 When UPGRADING/DOWNGRADING the nvidia port (where the version changes), use gl-select to revert to x11 and then re-select nvidia in order to refresh the libGLcore and libGL symlinks, like so: # prt-get update nvidia # gl-select x11; gl-select nvidia nvhelper.sh is still included in the port for the time being but gl-select is the preferred method.
