The nv driver is poorly written.
I don't think that is accurate. It doesn't have as many feature as
the binary drivers and it doesn't have the performance, but it has
some benefits. Namely, that it works on many OSes and architectures
and more people can support it. I don't think there are any quality
problems with it. Actually, if you don't need the features of the
binary drivers, I would recommend that you use the "nv" driver instead.

You may want to upgrade to the new 'nvidia'
driver provided by Nvidia themselves. Check it out at the nvida website:
www.nvidia.com
I've upgraded to the new driver using an old TNT card is the machine is like
new. Good luck,
Anton

Hi all, I use FreeBSD on one of my BOXes, this box is composed by:
MSI KT4 Ultra MoBo
Creative Geforce 3 Ti200 (Made by MSI)
Athlon XP 2400+
C-Media Sound Chip.
All the system is absolutely not Overclocked.
The problem is not a great disaster , but is annoying:
When I start X with "nv" accellerated (if I disable the accelleration
the problem disappears) drivers and I enter Mozilla and all browsers
that use Gecko (so Netscape and Galeon too) and I try to write something
in a writing field if I move the cursor trough the words that I've wrote
the cursor Image remains in between each letter make all very confused.
Is very difficult find the real cursor in that chaos, but if I write a
letter or I delete something (If I modify the field in anyway) all the
cursor copies disappear.There is another problem. In wmaker and in gnome
too when I select multiple objects on the desktop with the mouse using
the "rectangle" done by hold pressed the left mouse button down pieces
of this rectangle remain on the screen until I pass over them a window
or any other Objects .
As you can see this problems aren't very important, but very annoying
(in particular when I have to write long E-Mails or something like this).
If I disable the accelleration this disappears (but is very slow!).
I use the lastest XFree86 release 4.2.1 on FreeBSD 4.7 , and I've tried
Debian SID too on this Box with the same problems.
I use AGP4x but with no AGP the problem remains.
Thank you very much for your help
