I've searched a while the FreeBSD forum of the nvidia driver at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=47 and learned that the lock is caused by the huge amount of memory my laptop has (4 GByte) and one needs a setting in /boot/loader.conf of machdep.disable_mtrrs=1 with this all is fine and X comes up as it should. The actual version is 180.60 and does not compile on CURRENT. One must disable the check for this version in NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-180.60/src/nv-freebsd.h: /* #if __FreeBSD_version >= 800000 #error This driver does not support FreeBSD 8.x/-CURRENT! #endif */ then it compiles and installs fine. As well the nvidia-settings must be compiled directly from the source because the one in the ports has some library conflict. Thanks for your hint again matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <guru@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
