Rats! Sorry that didn't help. One other thing occurs to me - you mentioned you updated some ports. Have you also updated your system source tree without doing a full buildworld cycle? If so, chances are that your nVidia driver is built against a different version of the kernel source than the running kernel. Although any differences will be minimal, there is a chance that something changed enough to upset the driver. Failing that, all I can suggest is that you keep an eye on your console and see if the driver emits any messages just before it chokes. Good luck!
