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. It's easiest to get a hold of that script using: make -C /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver extract cp `make -C /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver -V WRKSRC`/obj/*.sh . -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

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. ( i have only 1gb memory fyi) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
