Installed from DVD with Gnome and LXDE (no KDE). Selected Nvidia
drivers and HPLIP before install on UFS partition.<br>

Intel Pentium 4, 2.4 Ghz, old Nvidia Geforce4 MX440 video card.
1gb RAM. Multi boot system using grub2 with NTFS and Ext4

The nvidia driver included doesn't support the older GF4 cards.
Here's what it supports now:<br>

click "Supported Products"<br>
<br>
I'll take a look and see if there is a way to include the previous
version(s) as well, but it may be a bit tricky :)<br>

problem with install except that Nvidia driver selection just
returns to another selection screen rather than offer an option to
save config so just selected skip and 2D graphics are fine, so
will test this later. Did a portsnap fetch and extract. Installed
fusefs-ntfs and ntfsprogs from ports. Nautilus file manager works
fine on local file system, but when trying to mount NTFS
partitions, nothing is displayed in the Nautilus window. If two or
more attempts to mount the same NTFS partition are made with
Nautilus then multiple occurrences of "mounted" icons are found in
/media/ but no file structure is displayed in any of the windows.
I have seen something almost identical in early snapshots of
desktopBSD which PeterH resolved before the final release of
DBSD7. After re-boot, the /media/ directory returns to normal
until a mount attempt with Nautilus resumes the same problem.<br>

The fusefs-ntfs port didn't build correctly for the BETA1 release,
I'll take a look into it and try to fix for the next update. <br>

don't recall the mounting problems with the last snapshot of
02/07/11 (UK date convention), but I installed that with KDE.<br>

All works fine with PCBSD 8.2 (KDE) and Archlinux on same machine.<br>
