I have a server that ran fine in FreeBSD 5.X but after updating to 6.0
started crashing and rebooting from X. I thought maybe it was some anomaly
and hoped 6.1 would fix it.
It was still crashing, so I dove in to find why . . .
It seems with some RTFM on the nvidia driver notes, I found the agp module
compiled into FreeBSD kernels by default in 6.0 was a known problem.
I disabled the kernel's agp putting in:
hint.agp.0.disabled="1"
in /boot/device.hints
There is a driver setting for the nvidia driver I added to my XF86Config
telling it to manage the agp.
Since making these changes the server is completely stable running X.
I have seen other messages with other video card problems, and wanted to
share my experience as it may help other agp video card users.
