Greetings:

I am running bsd 5.2.1 and I installed the nvidia driver from the ports for the
follwoing video card.

dmesg

nvidia0: <GeForce2 MX 100/200> mem 0xc0000000-0xc7ffffff,0xce000000-0xceffffff
irq 5 at device 0.0 on pci1

pciconf results:

 class=0x030000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x011110de rev=0xb2 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
    device   = 'GeForce2 MX 100/200 (DDR) [NV11DDR]'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA



The installation went good, the card was recognized. The problem is the
resolution doesn't get to my desired setting.

..

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    VendorName "SUN"
    ModelName "574"
    HorizSync 30-70
    VertRefresh 50-120
    Option "DPMS"
EndSection

..

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Card0"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24

    SubSection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Above are my XF86Config settings but all I get is a resolution of 640x480. Is
there a way to get a higher resolution with this card?

Thanks,

Brian
