No, I gave up and returned to 5.1. I will get back
to 5.2-RELEASE.

Have you tried removing

options SMP  # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
device  apic # I/O APIC
from your kernel config and recompiled?

I just put in the nvidida card again: no freezes with those two options 
removed from my kernel. And acpi.ko is working happily.

I installed 5.2-RC2 again, added 

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"

to /boot/device.hints, but then I got this in dmesg after vga0:...

ACPI is still activated. Removing those two lines from my kernel 
configuration solved the problem for me. Have you tried that? This would 
help nailing the problem down, I guess.

BTW, I haven't tried with the geforce again, yet -- still running the

Hi,

I am curious if the problem persists if you put the 
following in your device.hints using the default kernel.

hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"

I also have nvidia - Geforce 256. And for me it also freezed 
on startx.

I had another ACPI related problem on my asus (nvidia) a7n8x,
and posted to the 'current' mailing list.  One of the replies
suggested how to disable acpi cleanly:

That worked - it changed the boot menu choice from
"boot with acpi disabled" to "boot with acpi enabled".

Hi,

I have problem with X on 5.2-RC2. Sometimes the whole
system hangs when I start X by startx or 'setpmac mls/equal startx'
(with MAC policies loaded). In about 30% of attempts it hangs on 
XFree startup messages and hard reset is required.
The problem occurs a little bit too often for some unrelated
accident and it doesn't occur at all on 5.1-RELEASE (the same
hardware and configuration).

Does anyone have similar problem ?

Yes, see my post from earlier today called "Can't shutdown, logout, or 
restart cleanly."  I have not run 5.1-RELEASE before, so I can't say 
if it didn't happen there, but it definitely happens with 
5.2-CURRENT.  I'm at my wit's end trying to find out why!

Per a post I received on bsdforums.com, try booting up with ACPI turned 
off.  This can be done in 5.1 and later by choosing option 2 in the boot 
menu (Boot FreeBSD with ACPI disabled).  Once I did this, it worked like 
a champ.  I'm not sure why earlier versions may not have been affected 
by this or if it only affects certain hardware.

Let me know if this worked for you.
