In fact, running a pkg-delete -n it looks to me like nvidia-driver tries to move back all the original glx files that it replaced. You don't mention what commands you ran; one way to be sure of getting everything afresh is to de-install all of xorg and nvidia, then re-install xorg. If you are a portupgrade person, then make sure you specified -f. Also, you could try finding glx related files (e.g. "locate glx") and see what packages they come from with pkg_which. Make sure you update the locate database first ("/usr/sbin/periodic weekly" would do it and other bits should do no harm). hth, --Alex PS According to my port tree, mplayer would only pull in nvidia driver of you had specified WITH_NVIDIA=1 somewhere like make.conf, pkgtools.conf or the original command line.
