Hello, I have recently bought a GeForce 6600 video card, and sometimes (not very often) I experience the following problem:
A little after starting X11 (for example when I start downloading e-mails), the screen freezes a few seconds, after that the screen looks like if widgets (buttons, text, etc.) aren't drawn, and the white background of Sylpheed-Claws covers the screen. Then I am forced to switch to the 1st console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), which takes around 30 seconds, and then kill X11. I have FreeBSD 5.4 release, Xorg 6.8.2 and nvidia-driver 1.0.8178. I know this problem is with the driver, because I got this kernel message: NVRM: Xid: 8, Channel 00000000 NVRM: Xid: 8, Channel 00000020 And the Xorg log has the following: (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e75c, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e75c, 0) Failed to switch consoles (Invalid argument) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e834, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e834, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 4, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e844, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 4, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e844, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e878, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e878, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e89c, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e89c, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e8ac, 0) (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000e74c, 0x0000e8ac, 0) FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. If more information is needed just ask (and please tell me how to obtain it). What can I do? Should I update FreeBSD/Xorg?
