Well, the other thing that's come up, I can't get my nvidia driver to work
along with xorg. It used to show it's arrival both in kldstat, AND also
because, in /dev, a file named nvidiactl would show up. This has stopped
happening. I had been using the old version 100.14.19, and when I checked
the nvidia website, it seems a couple of newer versions had appeared, so I
downloaded and built version 169.12. Don't ask me why the crazy version
numbering, I looked around for something like a changelog, but had no luck.
Anyhow, updating to the newer version wasn't too hard, but didn't show any
change. Consulting the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, even though kldstat says
that nvidia.ko is loaded, it never shows a /dev/nvidiactl, and the log file
says clearly that it never finds the Nvidia kernel module. Using it with
Vesa lets me limp, so I do that, but howcome?
The nvidia kernel module now needs to be loaded at boot-time;
it won't supercede the default vga support if loaded later.
cat nvidia_load="YES"" >> /boot/loader.conf

OK, I'm not giving my ldconfig problem to you folks, its quite likely its a
FreeBSD-current problem, so let those folks handle that one.
Boy, I feel like the little boy who cried wolf!
