hmm.. it turned out that the problem was not
in the drivers or anywhere relevant.
Some stupid network monitoring desktop applet (which counts
incoming/outgoing IP packets)
i had enabled just for fun was somehow causing this weird behavior.
Since it didn't show up in the 'top' program or anywhere

ok.. even though there wasn't anything useful in the Xorg logfile,
after recompiling the kernel i get:
hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: enabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: nvidia
hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: 4x
hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: disabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: disabled
Now this almost doubles
Ok, according to your sysctls, you aren't getting the AGP acceleration
at all.
Try adding these lines to your card device section:
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "NvAGP" "1" # Use NVIDIAs agp
Then restart X.
Check your hw.nvidia.agp sysctls, particularly these:
hw.nvidia.agp.
well, Xorg -version says
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
I think it was installed by sysinstall as a package.
I downloaded the drivers from nvidia.
the device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "MyGeForce"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA"
B
Next set of questions:
Are you running Xorg? What version? Did you install it from ports or
as a package?
Did you install the binaries from nvidia or did you install them from
ports? If installed from ports, how did you build?
What is the card def block in your X config?
What are your hw.nv
well, yes. the module section looks like this:
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "type1"
Load "speedo"
EndSection

To get accelerated OpenGL, i installed Nvidia's drivers
for my Geforce4 MX 440 on a FreeBSD 5.3-release machine.
The problem is, most of the games and apps that use OpenGL
do not run smoothly - every second or so they would freeze
for a little while which makes it impossible to enjoy them.
At first
