Re: FreeBSD 7.0 freezes with nvidia card

I have a Dell D800 Latitude laptop. If I use FreeBSD 7.0, and xorg

tried it with the vesa driver. and the problem didn't seem to
happen, but the vesa driver is unable to get the 1680x1050
resolution of my monitor.

I sent a similar message a while back because I thought the ndis
driver was also involved. But I have since disabled ndis.
(However when ndis is on, the problem is worse.)

Any ideas?

Have you tried the Nvidia driver from ports/x11? It works well for me
on my Dell I8600.
