FreeBSD 5.2.1
>Description:
      I installed the FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my PIV 1.6GHz PC with 512 MB RAM
and nVidia VANTA vga Card . i first recompiled the Kernel to allow the cdrecord run on my CD-RW IDE by adding "device atapicam" to the kernel config file . it worked fine . i then installed the nVidia driver which i downloaded from their site , then ran the xf86config and modified the lines as per the README file . now when i run startx as root the nVidia logo screen appears for a secind then crash saying i386_set_ldt was built with s static entry . now how to fix this ? please note that I,m not a kernel hacker to modify source files .
