NVIDIA when RAM is > 2 GB

This came up on IRC today. Apparently there is a bug in the NVIDIA driver that occurs if the system has more than 2 GB of RAM. The fix is to add the following line to /boot/loader.conf:

machdep.disable_mtrrs=1

Kris, is this something that can be added to the 8.2 snapshot so it can be tested?

Cheers,

Dru

Is this present in the 260.19.21 version? If so, 263.09 should be out pretty soon and will hopefully fix this.

Re: NVIDIA when RAM is > 2 GB

Sorry for the toppost, my mailer isn't quoting this email for some reason.

This is an 8.1 install on a celeron dual core E3200, 4 gb ram, with a GeForce 8800 GS. Every boot option results in a black screen. I walked the guy through adding the machdep line at the boot prompt but that did not make a difference. Anyone else successfully using this card on 8.1? Any suggestions for a possible bios setting? He also tried reducing his ram down to 2 gb but it did not make a difference.

Cheers,

Dru

This is something I put into the base system for 8.2 / 9. However if the nvidia
driver itself fixes the issue then thats a better solution :)

Re: NVIDIA when RAM is > 2 GB

I use a GeForce 8800 GT; not sure if they are similar enough, but I have no problems with it.

nVidia Driver 260.19.21

Since nVidia has released the 260.19.21, might I suggest including it into the updates and rolling a patch. Can be found here:

I don't think the installer should be logging passwords in plain text
to the configuration file either - only encoded passwords should be
written to disk.
