I am not at the system at the moment but the -current sources were from about 2:00 PM CDT. I installed the nvidia-driver port (1.0.4365) trying various combinations of WITH_FREEBSD_AGP, FORCE_AGP_RATE, and WITH_NVIDIA_HACKS. I get the same result. The first time an X server is started, everything works fine, including glx loading. After exiting the X session and shutting down the server and then at some point later starting the X server again, the system will freeze. No messages, no panic, nothing. The only thing to do is hit the reset button. Any ideas? I saw some discussion about kernel changes made for wine and nvidia but I am not sure if that is relevant in my case. Thanks. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net
