hmm.. it turned out that the problem was not
in the drivers or anywhere relevant.
Some stupid network monitoring desktop applet (which counts
incoming/outgoing IP packets)
i had enabled just for fun was somehow causing this weird behavior.
Since it didn't show up in the 'top' program or anywhere
To get accelerated OpenGL, i installed Nvidia's drivers
for my Geforce4 MX 440 on a FreeBSD 5.3-release machine.
The problem is, most of the games and apps that use OpenGL
do not run smoothly - every second or so they would freeze
for a little while which makes it impossible to enjoy them.

Next set of questions:
Are you running Xorg? What version? Did you install it from ports or
as a package?
Did you install the binaries from nvidia or did you install them from
ports? If installed from ports, how did you build?
What is the card def
well, Xorg -version says
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
I think it was installed by sysinstall as a package.
I downloaded the drivers from nvidia.
the device section:
Section Device
Identifier MyGeForce
Driver nvidia
VendorName NVIDIA
Ok, according to your sysctls, you aren't getting the AGP acceleration
at all.
Try adding these lines to your card device section:
Option RenderAccel True
Option NvAGP 1 # Use NVIDIAs agp
Then restart X.
Check your hw.nvidia.agp sysctls, particularly these:
ok.. even though there wasn't anything useful in the Xorg logfile,
after recompiling the kernel i get:
hw.nvidia.agp.status.status: enabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.driver: nvidia
hw.nvidia.agp.status.rate: 4x
hw.nvidia.agp.status.fw: disabled
hw.nvidia.agp.status.sba: disabled
Now this almost doubles
