Good idea. I downloaded/built/installed 460.84... and was able to crash 
Xorg within 60 seconds of launching it. And looking at what the 
nvidia-driver port patches, they seem mostly related to allowing use 
without having the linux framework present.

I noticed the switch from the bundled libglvnd to the port version but I 
was having crashes well before that change (June 16th). Looking for Xid 
errors in /var/log/messages I think I started having this problem on May 
25th.
