On Mac mini Mid 2010 (Macmini4,1) the NVIDIA GeForce 320M GPU is not recognized correctly by initgfx on the helloSystem 0.7.0 Live ISO.

Possibly GeForce 320M needs to be added to nvidia_340_ids.

Doing this leads to an immediate reboot as soon as initgfx is starting Xorg!

You need to install the following additional drivers for the device to work properly: nvidia (from 295.75 to 340.108)

Ignore GeForce 320M. Trying the NVIDIA drivers on it lead to a system crash on a MacBook Air.

Adding GeForce 320M to nvidia_304_ids does not lead to the crash. nvidia.ko gets loaded but /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.xonf.d/00-video.initgfx.conf is still using scfb.

During verbose boot, getting

Auto-detectiong graphics driver :
eval: nv_xorg_cfg: not found

@danfe in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233069

Yes, SUB_FILES were not adjusted in the update to 410.104. Please try with the latest update to 430.50 in ports r516138.

I wonder whether @tehpeh ever got it to work...

Thing is, 430.50 does not seem to be available anymore according to "slave ports" on https://www.freshports.org/x11/nvidia-driver... maybe we should try 470?

When I add GeForce 320M to nvidia_latest_ids here, then I get:

@probonopd I never did get it to work. I have since given up on Apple hardware; too many proprietary things inside like Broadcom chips etc. Also they've become completely user non-serviceable. The Mac Mini in question now runs ESXi.

The 320M was a bit of a rare unit, it didn't have its own memory and instead shared from the system. I suspect it will never work unfortunately.

I have a GT 320M in a HP laptop and last time I tried (probably last year) it was recognised properly and supported by nvidia-340.

The Mac mini Mid 2010 (Macmini4,1) does boot hello-0.9.0_0I37-FreeBSD-13.2-amd64.iso, but it is not loading any Nvidia driver. Next step: Try to get nvidia-340 loaded.
