Howto: install Nvidia driver on GhostBSD 10.1

To have an ability to play games or use 3D CAD software you need to install Nvidia driver.

Download kernel source code: i386 here x86_64 here

Unpack it in /usr/src directory

Update you ports tree:

# portsnap fetch update

Get inside needed driver:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-drivers-304

Compile it

# make config
# make install clean

Using this commands add needed lines to corresponding files(pay attention at second line!):

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

Install nvidia-xconfig utility and create xorg.conf file with it

# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-xconfig
# make install clean
# nvidia-xconfig

You can reboot your system now:

#reboot
