+ | Get inside needed driver(ex. nvidia-drivers-304): | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | # cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-drivers-304 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | Compile it | ||
+ | <pre> | ||

+ | Using this commands add needed lines to corresponding files ('''pay attention at Note!'''): | ||

+ | # echo 'linux_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf | ||
+ | # echo 'linux_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf | ||
+ | # echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' >> /boot/device.hints | ||

− | + | === Install using package manager === | |
− | + | First you should search for available drivers packages: | |
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | # pkg search nvidia | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | you will get something like this: | ||
+ | <pre># pkg search nvidia | ||
+ | nvidia-driver-346.47 | ||
+ | nvidia-driver-304-304.125 | ||
+ | nvidia-driver-340-340.76 | ||
+ | nvidia-settings-340.24_1 | ||
+ | nvidia-texture-tools-2.0.8.1_7 | ||
+ | nvidia-xconfig-310.14 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | Now choose driver and install it: | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | pkg install nvidia-driver-304-304.125 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | Also we need to install two additional packages: | ||
+ | <pre> | ||
+ | pkg install nvidia-settings-340.24_1 | ||
+ | pkg install nvidia-xconfig-310.14 | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
