I wish I knew. I can't imagine it's hardware related beyond the NVidia card itself. One thing I didn't mention is my loader.conf settings: linux_load="YES" nvidia_load="YES" That's it. I don't think I really went to herculean lengths to get it right, I just did what I assumed needed to be done based on a quick scan of the readily available docs, aside from initially getting that AGP setting wrong in the Xorg config of course. When I initially built the drivers with AGP enabled, I was having problems with the display. One screen would look like it was having a psychotic break, while the other stayed blank. That may have been a conflict between the two AGP drivers though. Now that I'm a little more enlightened about it - being optomistic of course - I think it would be ok to rebuild the drivers with the AGPGART enabled, so long as I have the xorg config right. The pain in the neck comes with rebuilding the kernel without the FreeBSD agp.ko. I can't just put a line in loader.conf to tell the kernel to leave agp off, can I? Something like 'agp_load="NO"'? It does have to be a rebuild kernel doesn't it?
