Meanwhile, I got the "nvidia" driver compiled, installed and running. Tests like % xlock -nolock -mode lament or % xlock -nolock -mode fire show the FPS rate I've expected (no comparison to the 3 fps I got with "nv"). In "gears" there are > 5000 FPS, that's _magnitudes_ better than with "nv". But my text font in Sylpheed as well as the one used in intclock is not a bit damaged (just chose a different one in Sylpheed so I can see what I'm currently typing). The next thing I have to try is triggering the system freeze by using any Gtk+ application. :-) I'd like to point out that the nvidia driver comes with nice documentation: /usr/local/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README contains lots of great stuff. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
