Dear Kris --
Your PCBSD 7.2 "To-Do" list includes an entry for "Update Nvidia Drivers."
Could you also include the legacy drivers for 71.86.xx so it is available as
a choice when running the video card setup tool. The 91-series legacy
drivers are rolled into PCBSD 7.1, but some of us have computers with Nvidia
cards that are older than we are.
I have not figured out how to get it 71.86.xx in there yet, but is it as
simple as either installing the port or:
1. update /PCBSD/xorg-gui/settings/drivers.txt to include a listing for
71.86.xx (ie., 71.86.06)
2. update /PCBSD/xorg-gui/settings/alias.txt to include an alias for
3. copy nvidia-71.86.06.tar.gz to /PCBSD/packages (or should it be named
4. re-running the graphic card installation wizard
