Subject:   Nvidia doesn't start on cryptic errors

On my newly bought HP pavillion 6366 notebook with freebsd 6.2 - p4 and one of 
the latest portsnap I have an nvidia go 7400 card, *** fully *** supported by 
the nvidia driver according to the docs.

I followed the minimal configuration by nvidia-xconfig and just taiored the 
language for the keyboard....BUT 
  startx fails to load X and in the log file I find I find the below reported 
errors.

Being a beginner I find myself somewhat disorientated by these errors that I 
couldn't find surfing the net.

Please help
Ciao
Vittorio
