I just want to add my experiences here as well, which are quite similar. FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE on i386 (not amd64 at the time), xorg 7.5, at the time = the latest NVidia driver for GTX-285M hardware, on a Clevo W870-CU laptop. The system worked fine, but when I added hald to the existing configuration, I'= d get a very nasty hang of the whole system when the X server exited. Eventually, it was as simple as 1) with hald, hang 2) without hald, fine I will investigate the links embedded in other emails I've seen recently, a= bout not allowing empty devices and other hacks that I seem to have needed in my xorg.conf. If something useful comes of that, I'll post more data. Otherw= ise, I'd just like to add that this behavior is not limited to ThinkPads or ATI hardware. Bob --=20 Bob Krzaczek, Chester F.
