I've had many freezes with FreeBSD 6.2 and nvidia cards on at least
3 separate systems.

The thing that has fixed it on every system has been to
use portdowngrade to reset the nvidia driver to:


nvidia-driver-1.0.8776

(possibly with an extra _4 in the portdowngrade list)

Hope this helps.


Awesome - will def try it.  I ended up pulling my card out and just running the onboard - which works - but annoys me endlessly.

Thanks for the help! :)
