If so, I'd suspect it's opengl that's causing the problem. I do the following in such cases: portupgrade -f nvidia-driver\* xorgclients\* portupgrade -fr libglut\* A portupgrade -f xorg\* wouldn't go astray either!

So I didn't need to do an "-f". Same with alot of my xorg*. I probably should have been smarter (TOO LATE!!) to upgrade my nvidia first, run for a while THEN go to 5.5 . So it did get rebuilt.

The 2nd step to resolve this is to portdowngrade to the previous version, still no luck. Just for shites and giggles I built world and am letting it run for a while. Next step is recompile X. After that, it unless I get any more suggestions, it'll be go back to 5.4 . Thanks for the suggestions guys, I guess I was jumping to conclusions too quick.

Also make sure you recompile any kernel modules you might be using. The most likely one would be the nvidia driver. Kris pgpVlK22lBPGQ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Possible to go from 5.5 to 5.4?
Hi, I recently upgraded from 5.4 to 5.5, and now if I leave it in X for a few minutes it ends up locking up, usually when the screen blanks on its own. I wanted to go backwards to see if that behaviour goes away. I wasn't sure if there was a risk doing this.
