README for nvidia 1.0-8178+
*** 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.
*** NOTE for users of legacy hardware ***
Before installing this port, take a look at the Legacy GPU list on
nvidia's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html
If your hardware is supported by either the 1.0-96xx or 1.0-71xx
driver series, install the corresponding port instead of this one.
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 xorg 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
# gl-select xorg; gl-select nvidia
