On a FreeBSD 5.5-PRERELEASE (circa ~Feb 16) system with up-to-date ports (circa ~Feb 20), in particular with nvidia-driver-1.0.8178 and xorg-server-6.9.0, I see the following issue: If xorg-server-6.9.0 is installed before nvidia-driver-1.0.8178, then many X applications crash (xpdf when you attempt to print and click the "Print with command" button; openoffice.org when you start it; emacs when you touch the X menus; etc). If xorg-server-6.9.0 is (re-)installed after nvidia-driver-1.0.8178, then all problems disappear. There appears to be no dependency between xorg-* and nvidia-* but it seems that nvidia-* should be installed after xorg-* based on how X libraries are actually replaced. This is a combination FYI and "Am I doing something wrong?" Regards, Loren
