Setting up the FreeBSD nVidia driver: [https://docs.freebsd.org/doc/7.3-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/en/articles/compiz-fusion/nvidia-setup.html docs]:
 
* The latest versions of nVidia cards are supported by the x11/nvidia-driver port.
 
* nVidia cards like the GeForce 2MX/3/4 series are supported by the 96XX series of drivers, available in the x11/nvidia-driver-96xx port.
 
* Even older cards, like GeForce and RIVA TNT are supported by the 71XX series of drivers, available in the x11/nvidia-driver-71xx port.
 
 
'''Installing the nVidia driver'''
 
For example, to install the latest driver:
 
 
<code><nowiki>#</nowiki> cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver</code><br/>
 
<code><nowiki>#</nowiki> make install clean</code>
