I did a little more investigation of the problem with nVidia on
5.2.1-RELEASE-pX where X is higher than 4...
It turns out that after hand applying patches, once I apply the
msync5.patch that was p9, my nVidia X starts to have problems and lock up.
Once I back this out, the machine operates properly. I also ran into problems
where programs were coreing on Signal 6's SSH became useless, perl would
fall over randomly, etc.
This patch was all of 6 new lines, one changed line, but I can swap
back and forth and know that this will cause my machine to misbehave/crash.
Is there any way to start talking to someone to figure out what the
cause is and maybe have a change done?
You're hand-applying patches on a technology preview version of the
base system. You could try talking to NVidia, but if you just want
things to work on FreeBSD and you're not a programmer, I'd really
recommend that you upgrade to FreeBSD 5.3 and install the NVidia
driver from the ports collection. At least as a start.
