There's one more to try, disable the composite extension, yet this is a long shot if not using a window manager that uses composite. Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "disable" EndSection If that does not help, then the proper action would be to file a bug report with nvidia, using the nvidia-bug-report.sh script, that unfortunately isn't installed by the port.

Anders Holmström wrote: did you try Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" in Serverlayout section under screen, keyboard, mouse? I was told by a guy on the nvnews.net forums that I should put machdep.disable_mtrrs=1 in my /boot/loader.conf. Apparently he had had the same problem and he said it was because he had more than 2 gigs of ram. He had solved it by that setting, and later by simply removing the ram. I have 4 gigs, and the setting did work for me. HOWEVER, now that I startx it's impossible to move the mouse/use the keyboard. It also complaints about not being able to locate driver "kbd" and driver "mouse", plus mentions AllowEmptyInput as the culprit. I tried disabling it but it in xorg.conf, but didn't help on the input device issue. X still started though. I didn't think the two were related, but based on your post I guess they are. You could (or somebody else) possibly enlighten me a bit more about the relationship, or point me in the right direction? man xorg.conf didn't give much info. i am not sure about the machdep setting there so i cc'd the mailing list maybe someone else can help you there. about the AllowEmptyInput however, there is some info in ports/UPDATING round about when xorg was updated because I am not sure if you said you disabled the mouse from xorg config instead of moused in etc/rc.conf ( if that is what you said). i have moused_enable="NO" in etc/rc.conf and add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" in xorg.conf.new right after a Xorg -configure. also, i think you have to test cuz ppl get different setting to work depending their hardware, but i have had similar problem as you with moused enabled and AllowEm...added.

Iirc, nvidia-drivers do not care about which version (i mean, freebsd's or nvidia's one) you have of agp.ko. It even give you the choice of which you want to use.

Start from the beginning. You need to get the nvidia kernel module loaded. That apparently means you need AGP in your kernel. It *was* in the GENERIC kernel for 5.3, so you need to look more closely into why it thinks that is a problem.

There have been various reports around the mailing lists of people getting the nvidia drivers working on other versions, including 5-CURRENT, but NVIDIA won't support that. > 4.7-STABLE won't have ISOs, right? Probably not, but see http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/FBSDsites.php3 for sites where you can do a network install of a more recent snapshot. Or read Chapter 21 of the Handbook about how to track -STABLE: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
