To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the nvidia kernel
module, by doing
# kldload nvidia
or adding
nvidia_load="YES"
to your /boot/loader.conf (normally done automatically when installing
the port).
If you build this port with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=yes, make sure you have
agp.ko kernel module compiled and installed, since nvidia.ko will
depend on it, or have your kernel compiled with "device agp". Other-
wise the nvidia kernel module will not load. Also, care to specify
correct ``Option "NvAGP"'' in ``Device'' section of your X11 configu-
ration file.
When building with Linux compatibility (WITH_LINUX=yes), make sure
linux.ko is available as well (or have it compiled in kernel).
Note that this driver does not support PAE-enabled kernels.
See ${PREFIX}/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README for more information.
