Cause I checked 3 working nvidia xorg configs for 3 different cards and none of them has Section Display in them, let alone 20 of them :p > > And anything /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Run nvidia-xconfig, it'll generate a much cleaner xorg.conf file, enable nvAgp and load a few less extensions. If that one works, you can start diffing and adding things again to figure out the cause (if you're interested :p). Also check /boot/device.hints and disable Agp there. A GeForce 6200 for instance, insists on it, while other cards don't, but I never had one reboot the machine. I just get: agp0: <Intel 82845 host to AGP bridge> mem 0xf8000000-0xfbffffff at device 0.0 on pci0 NVRM: detected agp.ko, aborting NVIDIA AGP setup! echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' >>/boot/device.hints should do it. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
