Proper way to go about setting up Xorg with a very old NVidia GPU (340 drivers)
Coming from Linux, very new to FreeBSD so sorry if this is well worn territory.
Basically I have a Dell Precision M4500 with an NVidia Quadro FX1800M, compatible with the nvidia-340 driver. I've installed that and enabled it, but when reading up on installing Xorg, the handbook mentions that I need to use a version of xorg-server prior to 1.20 if my NVidia driver version is below 390.
What would be the correct way to install a compatible xorg-server? I read through the pkg and ports handbook sections but didn't see much about installing specific package versions.
If there's an official resource for this that I just missed, or if anybody has some tips I'd be very appreciative. Thanks
