This is a known problem, but so far in all my searches
all I find are complains from people and no solutions.

Basically, anytime XFree86 4 ( and the version really doesn't matter,
I've tried it with 4.1.x and 4.2.0 ) loads the nv driver, the machines
locks up for a few seconds, then reboots. I was able to get a working
config from the system by removing libint10.a from the xfree directory,
but any attempt at then running the xserver with the new config has
the same effect..

BTW, Xfree86 3.3.6 works, but since it's unaccelerated... it's slow as
molasses... and i've tried various versions of FreeBSD 4.3-4.5.

Anyone have any info? or should i just give up another card for this
system? ( but i've heard that even Radeons have the same issue..

( btw, i also get that damn microuptime() went backwards.. a few hundred
 times a day, is this ALI chipset THAT BAD..., the board seems other
wise stable)

here's the output of pciconf
