I have an occasional problem where the whole screen is shifted left on startup, but exiting and restarting X fixes it. You could try downgrading to an older nvidia-driver and see if it helps. Portdowngrade should do that, but I've never used it myself. You may have more luck if you try the nvidia support forum. Definitely slower than this mailing list but someone from nvidia was reading it, last time I used it. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=47 Well, that was part of the problem, but I still have errors with one OpenGL application (I have tested others like Doom III and Enemy Territory and didn't cause this): a Quake II engine called QuDos.

But I think my original advice still holds. Try searching the NVidia forum for your new error and if nothing found try posting a question there. And you can *try* downgrading the driver, which may or may not help, but must be worth a shot. You could always run WinXP for games --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
