[PC-BSD Testing] 7.1 Beta1

[Bill Leeper]

Sorry about that, I should have included more info. I have an 8500GT  
with 512MB and I tried all three nVidia drivers and the nv driver. I  
have a widescreen flat panel using a DVI connector. As soon as I tell  
it to apply the settings I get the text screen where it generates a  
new xorg. I then come back to the configure screen where I get the  
message previous attempt failed please check your settings and try  
again. This is pretty much the exact same problem I had with the first  
alpha as far as I can tell. I even tried the custom settings to enter  
the refresh rates and it makes no difference. The settings section  
does correctly identify my card as a GeForce 8500 GT.
