I have a 6600 with FreeBSD 5.4 XOrg 6.8.2 but still nvidia-driver-1.0.7676_1. I have an occasional problem where the whole screen is shifted left on startup, but exiting and restarting X fixes it. You could try downgrading to an older nvidia-driver and see if it helps. Portdowngrade should do that, but I've never used it myself.On Wed, 1 Feb 2006 15:06:21 -0300 Alejandro Pulver <alejandro@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hello, I have recently bought a GeForce 6600 video card, and sometimes (not very often) I experience the following problem: A little after starting X11 (for example when I start downloading e-mails), the screen freezes a few seconds, after that the screen looks like if widgets (buttons, text, etc.) aren't drawn, and the white background of Sylpheed-Claws covers the screen. Then I am forced to switch to the 1st console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), which takes around 30 seconds, and then kill X11. I have FreeBSD 5.4 release, Xorg 6.8.2 and nvidia-driver 1.0.8178.
You may have more luck if you try the nvidia support forum. Definitely slower than this mailing list but someone from nvidia was reading it, last time I used it.
