Hi! I don't know if the following behavior is normal or not. The second but last time the xorg-server port was updated and I installed the new version it crashed every time I wanted to use an OpenGL application. The first time I noticed this was when I wanted to play games/linux-enemyterritory but later on I saw that it happened with any OpenGL application, even a simple call to glxinfo had the same effect. The result was always the same: the screen switched to ttyv0 without killing Xorg and it freezed like that. The only thing to which it reacted were ACPI calls (i.e. it shutted down properly when I hit the power button). I rebuilt the nvidia-driver just to see if it changes something or if I see something strange things during the compilation. I was astonished to see that after having done this everything worked fine again just like before. I thought that this was something that happened once due to mysterious circumstances and would never happen again so I forgot about it. However when the Xorg port was updated once again yesterday I saw that exactly the same problem happened again. This time it was also solved by rebuilding nvidia-driver. My graphics card is an NVidia GeForce 5200 FX Version of nvidia-driver: 1.0.8178_1 Version of xorg-server: 6.9.0_3 uname -a FreeBSD 10.0.0.11 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #0: Mon Mar 27 17:05:15 CEST 2006 root@10.0.0.11:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HYPOCENTER i386
