I don't know if this is relevant to your problem, but whenever I update X, I have to portupgrade -f my nvidia driver because it causes X to crash whenever any opengl apps are run (eg glxgears, opengl screen savers). If you had updated part of X recently, it may have been the source of your problem. Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc
