3 of us have posted a thread on nvidia forums as problem reports; I've at least tried an older (legacy) driver version to no luck and eliminated every suggestion I've gotten from the fbsd community as well. If anyone would like, feel free to piggyback on the thread. There's been no help response on the forums for a couple of days now. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=45590 If this *is* an issue with the nvidia driver, is there a good way for us to alert Nvidia?
