ACPI_PM=on: ACPI Power Management support

- Options name:
- x11_nvidia-driver
- USES:
- kmod uidfix xorg tar:xz
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel
module, by running
# kldload nvidia-modeset
on the command line, or by putting ``nvidia-modeset'' on the ``kld_list''
variable in /etc/rc.conf, either manually or by running
# sysrc kld_list+=nvidia-modeset
If you build this port with FreeBSD AGP GART driver, make sure you have
agp.ko kernel module installed and loaded, since nvidia.ko will depend
on it, or have your kernel compiled with "device agp". Otherwise, the
NVidia kernel module will not load. Also, please set correct value for
``Option "NvAGP"'' in ``Device'' section of your X11 configuration file.
When building with Linux compatibility support, make sure that linux.ko
module is available as well (or have it compiled in kernel). It can be
loaded via /boot/loader.conf, or later in the boot process if you add
linux_enable="YES"
to your /etc/rc.conf.
If X.org cannot start and reports
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier.
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log while actually you have ``options SYSVSHM''
enabled in kernel, the sysctl ``kern.ipc.shmall'' should be increased.
Because in certain 570 versions GSP firmware is known to cause issues
with suspend/resume, thus, disabled by default for now.
On the other hand, some GPUs are known NOT to work without GSP
firmware support.
To enable GSP firmware add hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1
to your loader.conf.

Mega-patch to cleanup the ports infrastructure regarding our linux bits:
- USE_LINUX now implies NO_FILTER_SHLIBS=yes. It also doesn't use FreeBSD
tools to strip binaries anymore, so it's not neccesary anymore to override
STRIP and STRIP_CMD.
- USE_LINUX_PREFIX implies NO_MTREE now.
- In the USE_LINUX case, USE_XLIB now depends upon the linux X11 libraries
instead upon the native FreeBSD libraries.
- The variable LINUX_BASE_PORT contains a string which is suitable as an
item in *_DEPENDS, so if a port BATCH_DEPENDS or FETCH_DEPENDS upon the
default (or overriden) linux base, ${LINUX_BASE_PORT} should be used
instead of a hardcoded reference.
- Change all ports to comply to the "new world order".
- The Ports Collection now allows to override the default linux_base port.
Specify e.g. OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=rh-9 in /etc/make.conf to use
${PORTSDIR}/emulators/linux_base-rh-9 (the logic is to use (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above ) |

Long anticipated update to version 1.0-7174, the latest from nVidia.
Release Highlights:
* Supports FreeBSD 5-STABLE (5.3-RELEASE or later). For FreeBSD 4.x
and 5.2.1 users we stick to previous version (6113), since 7174 does
not play nicely with legacy FreeBSD releases
* Added support for the latest NVIDIA GPUs, including the GeForce 6600
and 6200 with TurboCache(TM)
* Added support for the KSE threading libraries

Say hello to the linux mega patch, it consolidates our linux bits a
little bit and allows to proceed to a more recent linux_base from
a stable (read as: the major bugs should be ironed out or identified
and most linux ports build just fine) source.
It also allows to ship 4.11 with a working linuxolator (the EOLed
linux_base is marked forbidden because of a security hole).
This is a major update, please read UPDATING (and CHANGES if you
develop linux ports).
Changes:
- change the default linux_base from v7 to v8
- add a newer freetype to linux_base-8 for nicer fonts display [1]
- don't let cpio use hardlinks in the linux_base-8 port to quiet some (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above ) |

Add patches so that the nVidia driver works with -CURRENT. Be
aware that nVidia doesn't officially supports -CURRENT though.
Older versions of -CURRENT (ie. __FreeBSD_version < 500105) are
not supported. 5.0-RELEASE is thus unsupported as well.
