When using NvAGP, /boot/device.hints MUST contain a line that disables agp. > In dmesg.boot this is displayed: > ########### > nvidia0: <GeForce 8800 GTS 512> on vgapci0 > vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_busmaster > vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io > vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io Harmless, as these interfaces are still supported.

There's one more to try, disable the composite extension, yet this is a long shot if not using a window manager that uses composite. Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "disable" EndSection If that does not help, then the proper action would be to file a bug report with nvidia, using the nvidia-bug-report.sh script, that unfortunately isn't installed by the port. It's easiest to get a hold of that script using: make -C /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver extract cp `make -C /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver -V WRKSRC`/obj/*.sh . -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
