No, I don't understand that at all. If you've read the lists as often as 
you claim to you'd know a few things:

1. These problems usually ARE something simple, and if the OP doesn't 
cover the simple bases, those questions will be asked.

2. The nvidia driver is quite popular, so a widespread failure of the 
driver on a -stable branch would have gotten a lot of notice.

3. The right list to post your report to is freebsd-stable@, not -hackers.

Now please understand, I am not *intending* to be insulting, and as 
someone who has struggled with the nvidia driver myself I'd like to see 
you get your problem resolved.


In any case, good luck.


Doug
