Now, the sad history: I can run X apps with the nv driver, but the

After much looking, I am still clueless. Any hint?

Make sure you are using the correct driver for your specific graphics
chip. Older chips need a legacy driver you have to install yourself.

From /var/log/dmesg.today:
[...]
nvidia0: <Quadro FX Go700> mem 0xfc000000-0xfcffffff,0xd0000000-0xdfffffff
irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1
[...]

From NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9746/doc/README
[...]
Appendix A. Supported NVIDIA Graphics Chips
[...]
Quadro FX Go700 0x031C
[...]

So I am afraid this is not the guilty.

Thanks anyway.

Ernest

There is information on the nvidia website.
