Perhaps my recent "problems" may help you:

I also FreeBSD6.1 + nvidia-1.0.8762, on two hosts.

On the first one, with a Geforce6x00, without any problems.

On the second, on a Geforce2MX, on which I had 3 reboots yesterday
while logged in (and while xscreensaver was running), where I had no
problems before (when I was still using nv driver), and which doesn't
hang when I access it remotely.

I noticed things quite similar: a 3D / GL application runs nice, then
the system hangs. I can't tell you if the problem occurs when the 3D
application stops, and in fact, I first suspected an overheat of the
NVidia card.


I'll try to start a 3D app then stop ip, to see if it makes it crash.


Yvan.
