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. > > On 6/24/21 8:54 PM, Fernando Apestegu__a wrote: > > Long shot, but libglvnd update affected x11/nvidia-driver.

I have nvidia-driver 460.67 built Thu Mar 11 00:03:14 UTC 2021 installed and working without any problem. I disabled Linux support in the port config. On my system libglvnd is not to be found anywhere outside the ports tree, i.e. the shared library was never installed under /usr/local. So, why is this library suddenly being required for nividia-driver? -- Gary Jennejohn
