Check the version of your x11/nvidia-driver port: unix% pkg info | grep -i nvidia nvidia-driver-340.76 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering nvidia-settings-340.24_1 Display Control Panel for X NVidia driver nvidia-xconfig-310.14 Tool to manipulate X configuration files for the NVidia driver The latest nvidia-driver at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=nvidia-driver&stype=name is nvidia-driver-346.47 and this newer version does not support the older graphics hardware in your Dell Inspiron laptop. If this does not apply to your situation, then nevermind, but if it does apply to you, then you need to downgrade nvidia-driver-346.47 to the older nvidia-driver-340.76 which you can get (download) from the NVIDIA download site. I hope this helps.
