I appear to be experiencing the same issue. I've been following this
thread. I have a coredump, but it's over 700mb in size. What would be the
best way to get that to you guys? The revision I'm at is r248583 on amd64
(6GB RAM) with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 580. Relevant lines from `pciconf -lvb`:
vgapci0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x063a10de chip=0x065910de
rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'G96 [Quadro FX 580]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
bar [10] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xf6000000, size 16777216,
enabled
bar [14] = type Prefetchable Memory, range 64, base 0xc0000000, size
536870912, enabled
bar [1c] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xf4000000, size 33554432,
enabled
bar [24] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xdc80, size 128, enabled
