Hi folks,
this is a mail forward, I also sent this (or mails like this) to some
german mailinglists and the NVidia and xawtv Maintainer. Is there really
no solution?

Hi,
I have some strange behavior with the latest nvidia-driver with FreeBSD
5.3-STABLE. I first recognized this error with any versions newer that
5.2.1. That time I thought, it can be a 'CURRENT'-problem, but it's not,
I think.
,----
| root@pandora# pkg_info | grep nvidia-driver
| nvidia-driver-1.0.6113_3 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware [ ... ]
`----
This driver works very well, but if I try to use xawtv with
'overlay'-mode, I get a total system freeze (not more mouse/keyboard, no
sshd, etc., but still a quite good xawtv-window with sound and moving
pictures). I only can push the power-button.
I nearly tried all combinations of xawtv/nvidia-settings, but none
worked with xawtv-overlay. I also changed the PCI-Slot of my Hauppauge
WINTV/PCI-Card. If I use xawtv with 'grabdisplay'-mode everything is
fine.
There are not entries in any logfiles, no chance to debug this problem.
Any hints? Might this be a questions for a freebsd-mailinglist? Which
one of them? (-stable, -current?).
Hint: This problem exists in 6.0-CURRENT, too.
Hint2: If someone of you understands german; I describe this problem
here too: <http://www.bsdforen.de/showthread.php?t=6204>;
