Thank you, 

I'm running 8-current (from the 22nd of feb), I did add nvidia_load="YES", kdlstat shows:

rohit at tp~ $ kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 41 0xc0400000 a7d788 kernel
2 2 0xc0e7e000 29a08 linux.ko

6 1 0xc5731000 9000 reiserfs.ko

The card is 570M on a thinkpad t61p. I also didn't notice any messages related to nvidia, but I can look more deeply. Is there a way to enable debugging in the nvidia module?

regards (and please excuse the hefty disclaimers below my emails)
