That's very sad indeed. Do you know if there is a way to report a problem with NVidia? For example, is there a for example bugzilla or other bug reporting system for this? Unfortunately, I am not aware of such thing being exposed to the public. Forum is the closest thing that comes to mind. Individual developers can probably be contacted privately, but AFAICT they all read forum pretty regularly, so it makes little sense to spam them directly. In addition, I observe system hangup for a few seconds when running glxinfo. Also I observe Xorg freeze when I run nvidia-settings. So I have to run 285.05.09 from cvs instead.

I think the version should be rolled back until the problem is fixed. ... First: I have been using nvidia-driver-295.49 since 11 May, and I have not observed the above at all. Indeed; I've been happy with the update. I am running FreeBSD/i386; I run stable/8, stable/9, and head (on different slices), updated daily. (As of this morning, running each at r236141. I also update all installed ports daily (portmaster -da --index).) Since I use a common /usr/local, I build my ports under stable/8, though I rebuild x11/nvidia-driver each time I rebuild the kernel (usually, 3x/day), and that is built under the OS I'm running at the time. My graphics card is identified as: NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 770M (G96GL). Recently, I cloned my stable/9 slice rebuilt it using clang, and everything still works Just Fine -- including x11/nvidia-driver.
