This is just my opinion, but I think you'll get a better chance of solving your problems if you send your bug reports directly to NVIDIA since you seem to have done everything you can do. We don't have any access at all to the source code responsible for the OpenGL rendering so we have no way of fixing the bugs you are having with your card. You might get some useful suggestions here, but I think most of the bugs are mostly in NVIDIA's OpenGL code. I myself have a NVIDIA card and I've never had this system have an uptime of more than 2.5 days, and so far I'm blaming NVIDIA's driver -- you're not the only one having problems. Anyway, Good luck with your problems. Hopefully NVIDIA will make more effort into improving their drivers. - James -- James Pole ICQ: 21721828 AIM: kiwijames1986 MSN: james.pole@paradise.net.nz SMS: +64-210-455-139 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
