Works fine here when I am using libmap.conf like this: libm.so.2 libm.so.3 libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.5 libhistory.so.4 libhistory.so.5 libopie.so.2 libopie.so.3 libpcap.so.2 libpcap.so.3 I didn't test which libraries that need to be map, which I just copy-n-paste from UPDATING to libmap.conf. > a friend of mine updated to beta7... and while he says he can play > quake3 fine, quake2forge (native from ports) seems to fail with both glx > and sdlgl renderers.

Or am I actually correct in speculating that the nvidia > drivers need to be updated to properly support beta7 and future releases? Yes, Nvidia driver will have to update. If I remember it correct that some old threads about new Nvidia driver for -CURRENT sometime ago, there should have another Nvidia driver update that will working with thread, TLS and etc better... > On a final note I have yet to go from beta6 to beta7 in fear that some > of my beloved games will stop working ;) Those games should work as long you have libmap.conf set correct. I haven't recompile all apps yet as they all are running just fine with libmap.conf as the workaround, but I will recompile all apps sometime soon.
