Yes, indeed. This worked! The X-servers comes up, and even glxgears seem to 
spin at decent speed.

However, at random points after much work, such as moving a window "too much" 
or scrolling through "too much" textual output in an xterm, the X-server 
hangs. In top(1) it looks like:

  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND
  720 mi            1 130    0 80016K  6792K RUN     22.2H 97.56% Xorg

Killing it works (but only with -9) leaving the screen black. Trying to start 
a new session after this (logging in remotely) hangs the whole machine...

The box is a single Pentium3 @450MHz... Any ideas?

P.S. I must admit, with sadness, that the only case of properly and quickly 
working OpenGL, that I ever saw on FreeBSD, was with NVidia's own driver...
