Hey,
 The problem is the following:
 (EE) Failed to load module "freetype" (module does not exist, 0)
 (EE) No devices detected
 Fatal server error:
 no screens found

 giving up
 /usr/pkg/bin/xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to x server
 /usr/pkg/bin/xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
 xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "myhostname.DragonflyBSD":0" in "remove" command

 Only comes up when trying to startx with DVI/HDMI input in use. VGA has no problems.

 The pkgsrc-wip, looks interesting i might give it a go. Lots of current packages like Libreoffice too. :D

 Regards,
 Martin

 Hi, can you tell us a little about what doesn't work when you try to use the NVidia card? For starts, there is the "vesa" driver which basically works with every video card out there but severely lacks in features (can't remember exactly, dual-monitor use may among those missing). The Nouveau driver is available in pkgsrc-wip[1][2] although I don't know the state of it, if it is up to date and if it builds on DragonFly. Give it a shotâ?¦ Best, Matthias [1] http://pkgsrc.se/wip/xf86-video-nouveau [2] http://pkgsrc-wip.sourceforge.net/
