Description blahblah.1981 2015-02-10 03:29:48 UTC 
emulators/linux-c6 option to use NVIDIAL_GL doesn't allow for use of legacy Nvidia drivers.

If I am using the legacy Nvidia port, x11/nvidia-driver-340, setting the "Use GL driver from nvidia-driver" option in the emulators/linux-c6 port causes it to pull in the newest Nvidia driver, x11/nvidia-driver, instead of using my installed legacy driver, x11/nvidia-driver-340.

From the emulators/linux-c6 Makefile:

OPTIONS_DEFINE= NVIDIA_GL
NVIDIA_GL_DESC= Use GL driver from nvidia-driver

NVIDIA_GL_RUN_DEPENDS=  ${LINUXBASE}/usr/lib/libGL.so.1:${PORTSDIR}/x11/nvidia-driver \
                        linux-c6-libGLU>0:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/linux-c6-libGLU
NVIDIA_GL_RUN_DEPENDS_OFF=      linux-c6-dri>0:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/linux-c6-dri


Is it possible to allow this to use legacy Nvidia drivers?

Not really: we don't yet have the "provides" syntax required for it, and adding multiple options for the various nvidia builds isn't justifiable.
Comment 3 Tijl Coosemans freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-12-30 14:06:51 UTC 
The conflict between linux-c6-dri and nvidia-driver has been resolved and the NVIDIAL_GL option has been removed from all linux ports.
