There should be some useful information in /var/log/Xorg.0.log just after X crashes. If you restart X after the crash, I believe the old log would get rotated to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old Since x11/nvidia-driver is a binary driver that was linked against a specific version of OpenGL, it ships that version of OpenGL as a replacement for whatever's on your system at the time. Maybe your OpenGL applications need to be rebuilt? I'm not even sure if that suggestion makes sense, but it's something to try. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

But I can confirm, that this is happening here too. I am running FreeBSD 6.3, GeForce 7600, compiz and Xfce. Once I start an application using OpenGL, X will crash.
