Hi, just as a pointer, please review the NVIDIA README file, quoting from it: ------------------------------------------ Q. My X server log file contains the message: (WW) NVIDIA(0): You appear to be using the XFree86-DGA extension. Please (WW) NVIDIA(0): be aware that support for this extension will be (WW) NVIDIA(0): removed from the NVIDIA driver in a future driver (WW) NVIDIA(0): release. See the NVIDIA README for details. What is NVIDIA's plan for support of the XFree86-DGA extension? A. Support for the XFree86-DGA extension will be removed from the NVIDIA driver in a future driver release. This means that while the extension will continue to be advertised and XDGASelectInput() will still function properly so that DGA clients can acquire relative pointer motion, DGA entry points such as XDGASetMode() and XDGAOpenFramebuffer() will fail. If you would prefer that DGA support not be removed from the NVIDIA X driver, please feel free to make your concerns known on the FreeBSD forum on nvnews.net. -------------------------- Do you see the message in your Xorg log file? (I'm not using DGA, and watching tv with mplayer which uses Xv).
