Well, some similar topic now:
Someone has an ASUS A7N266-VM (with Very-Cool(TM) nForce chipset :-)
motherboard? I have one, all integrated components (except NIC) are
working very well, but XFree86 freezes my system and don't generate a log
file. I tested with AGP kernel module loaded, resulting the same.
I can run X on NetBSD 1.6BETA4 using nv driver with 1024x768x24bpp
(yeah, I have a small 15" monitor...), in FreeBSD I created XF86Config
file using xf86cfg -textmode, graphic mode don't work, locks up my
machine.
I tested with FBSD 4.6-RELEASE running GENERIC and custom kernel,
XFree86 4.2, the integrated GPU is a GeForce2 using 32MB of memory.
The motherboard has APIC set, but with PIC I can't run X too.
Thanks in advance,
Rossam.
