Re: nvidia-driver rebooting machine on X startup

I came across this thread on freebsd-questions after some searching on
google. I have the exact same issue as others here- if xorg is started
with 'nvidia' as the driver, instant reboot. However, my machine is a
100% fresh install with things compiled from source this weekend.
However, I did have to install some binary vncserver packages, but
they have since been removed.

I did the 'xorg' meta port which got me the current xorg-7.3_1. The
machine I did the install on was running Debian Unstable for about a
year without issue with the same hardware (two cards for 3 monitors):

I forgot, but was there one person in the thread that has only 1 monitor
attached to 1 card? Cause you're the 3rd I see with multiple monitor issues.
Ironically, we have one system with CRT + TV-OUT through one card, with no
issues whatsoever (500GB HDD, DVDRW, rock on!). However I turned off Xinerama
support from the get go and use TwinView.

With all the Xorg 7.3 issues, I have not gone that road nor plan to anytime
soon.

I also think we've had all the different cards by now, a quatro, GeForce 5k,
7k, 6k...

Maybe someone can build a WITNESS/DDB kernel, since dumping seems to be
failing?
