README for nvidia 1xx.xx *** 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 use nvidia POST-REMOVE Use opt/gl-select from ports to revert to the xorg gl/glx libraries and extensions like so: # gl-select use 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 use xorg; gl-select use nvidia
