FWIW I had major issues with 173.14.05 (X.org crash to syscons at random
and usually immediately when using GLX stuff) and reverted to 169.12 which
is running once again without issue.

Anyhow, I remember experiencing issues like what you're mentioning though
it's a while ago so my memory is hazy.  IIRC, it comes from conflicts
between the Mesa and Nvidia libraries, and there was some voodoo that
seemed to help (though I'm not sure if it's still used), which was to
set `USE_NVIDIA_GL=yes' in /etc/make.conf.

There may also be some library rebuilding needed once that make variable
has been set (libGL and friends).

Disclaimer: the above advice is based on a hazy memory of dealing with
similar issues and may be totally inaccurate and/or snake oil.
