Unfortunately, when I threw my nVidia card in and installed the driver
from ports, I experienced a whole new set of issues.  I symlinked the
driver and glx module to the new locations and started X (with
gnome-session in my .xinitrc file).   After a few seconds, the mouse
cursor disappeared and X locked up.  I rebooted (from a serial terminal)
and tried again with fvwm2.  That actually launched without problems.  I
started glxgears and it ran.  I quit glxgears by hitting escape.  Except
that it never returned me to a prompt at the terminal and the process
hung (though the glxgears window did go away).  After a few seconds, the
entire system crashed (which also happens if I try to start another GL
application). I've tried with version 9629, as well, but encountered the
same problem.

Version 8776 works fine, though.
