NVIDIA's X11 driver needs much shared memory. If kernel cannot provide enough shared memory to nvidia-driver and other programs(e.g. Apache 2.2+PHP5) simultaneously, Xorg will freeze with NVIDIA's logo on screen. This problem has troubled many FreeBSD+NVIDIA users. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Related prompt should be added to post-install message of the port x11/nvidia-driver: If Xorg cannot start and reports (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier. in /var/log/Xorg.0.log while actually you have enabled "options SYSVSHM" in kernel, the sysctl "kern.ipc.shmall" should be increased. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
