I can't remember if I started to have this problem when I was using FreeBSD 5.4 or if it started when I upgraded to 6.1, but whenever I try to run an application that uses OpenGL or possibly just GLX (such as ZSNES or going into the GLX portion of nvidia-settings), I can see in konsole (for only a split second, not long enough to copy) some X error, then X seems to die on me, showing me my getty console, but the computer is unresponsive and what's being seen is a view of getty prior to X loading. Only way to resume using the computer is to force a reboot by pressing the reset switch on the case. I compiled the x11/nvidia-driver port with WITH_VM86_INT10CALL=yes enabled (and WITH_LINUX being set automatically by OPTIONS). I have disabled FreeBSD's AGP driver in device.hints, and I have the NVIDIA driver set to have NvAGP set to 1 to use it's internal AGP instead. I do see a message in my Xorg.0.log file about GLX not loading properly, but when I use xdpyinfo, I see both GLX and NV-GLX on the list of loaded extensions. X overall still works as long as I don't run an OpenGL application. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem? If more information is needed, let me know, I'll provide it. Naram Qashat
