I installed b130 using a DVD, then followed your instructions to create a new BE, remove the current Nvidia drivers and install the legacy drivers (in the new BE). Then rebooted into the new BE with the legacy drivers. I left it running b130 for a couple of weeks - unfortunately don't recall if this Xorg behavior was happening on 130. Then 132 came out and I let Package Manager do a normal upgrade to 132. I don't think it did anything to the legacy Nvidia drivers during the upgrade, but maybe it did. 'pkg list | grep -i nvidia' shows nothing. 'pkginfo | grep -i nvidia' spits out the two legacy SVR4 packages I installed (NVDAgraphics and NVDAgraphicsr). 'pkginfo -l' reports they are still the 173.14.22 version. 'pkgchk' on these reports no problems. >> ....
