>Description:
Using the current xorg metaport including:

  xorg-server-6.9.0_4    X.Org X server and related programs

I had no success using X with nv(4) -> it dumped core immediatly.

The graphics card in question is a (brandname):

  ASUS EN7600GS TOP SILENT

Thus I came across:

http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/repositories/xorg7/SUSE_Factory/src/xorg-x11-driver-video-7.1-124.13.src.rpm

and 'backported' the files

  nv_driver.c
  nv_hw.c

into the my 6.9.0_4 wrksrc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get yourself the aforementioned card and try to run the aforementioned
Xorg port using the nv driver.

(works at least fine for me)
