How to install Nvidia driver on GhostBSD
To have an ability to play games or use 3D CAD software you need to install Nvidia driver.
Install using ports
Download the kernel source code for i386 or x86_64.
Unpack it in the directory /usr/src.
Update you ports tree:
-
portsnap fetch update
Get inside needed driver (ex. nvidia-drivers-304):
-
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 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:
-
pkg search nvidia
you will get something like this:
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
Now choose driver and install it:
-
pkg install nvidia-driver-304-304.125
Also we need to install two additional packages:
-
pkg install nvidia-settings-340.24_1 -
pkg install nvidia-xconfig-310.14
Using this commands add needed lines to corresponding files (pay attention at Note!):
|
Note:
|
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
-
echo 'linux_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf -
echo 'linux_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf -
echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' >> /boot/device.hints
|
Note:
|
Make X configuration file with nvidia-xconfig utility:
-
nvidia-xconfig
You can reboot your system now:
-
reboot
