Hi Mike,

	I installed the drivers as you suggested on a fresh install of 5.4 and 
things are working.
I thought you might be interested in some testing I did.
I cvs'd up all to current.
Portupgraded all installed software, then rebuilt the kernel, which is 
now at 7.0 Current.

After completion and a restart to finish up the kernel build, I had a 
panic on startup, which was tied to the nvidia driver. I disabled ACPI
and so far all working great.
