I've been using x11/nvidia-driver from ports on a Dell Latitude C840 laptop with 4.8-STABLE. I have it set to do 1600x1200. The problem is that whenever I close the cover while it's running X, and then reopen the cover, the display is screwed up. Specifically, it looks like the left-hand half of the screen has been stretched to cover the full screen, and the right-hand half is gone. When this happens, I can recover by doing Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-F9. Or I can cycle through video modes with Ctrl-Alt-KP+. But sheesh, it's annoying as all get out. Below are the relevant parts of my XF86Config file. Any idea how to fix this problem? BTW, I had no problems like this with the VESA driver.
