No, I don't understand that at all. If you've read the lists as often as you claim to you'd know a few things: 1. These problems usually ARE something simple, and if the OP doesn't cover the simple bases, those questions will be asked. 2. The nvidia driver is quite popular, so a widespread failure of the driver on a -stable branch would have gotten a lot of notice. 3. The right list to post your report to is freebsd-stable@, not -hackers. Now please understand, I am not *intending* to be insulting, and as someone who has struggled with the nvidia driver myself I'd like to see you get your problem resolved. In any case, good luck.
