I am using nouveau driver on FreeBSD 8.2 Release with resolution 1280x1024.
I have Nvidia GeForce 7025 card embedded in my Asus Mobo.
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 545 Processor (3013.73-MHz K8-class CPU)
I am able to run nouveau driver by simply following the instructions given
in package xf86-video-nouveau's pkg-message file:
These are those instructions:
---------------Start------------------
Installing it should be as simple as below procedure provided you have
base sources in /usr/src.
# cd /usr/src/sys
# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~rnoland/drm-nouveau-062309.patch
# patch -sp0 -i drm-nouveau-062309.patch
# cd modules/drm
# make depend all install
---------------End------------------
Here is my Xorg's version:
---------------Start-----------------
X.Org X Server 1.7.7
Release Date: 2010-05-04

And I didn't changed anything in my xorg.conf generate by Xorg -configure
except changing Driver nv to nouveau in Device section.

I once experienced such mysterious lockup since I started using FreeBSD 1
month ago. It left no traces which I could find.
If I can recall correctly I was using Firefox that time and 2/3 Eterms were
open. WM was Fluxbox.
