NVidia driver on 6.1-PRERELEASE causes panic

[Eric Anderson]

I'm trying to set up a new laptop (Dell Latitude 820), which has an 
NVidia Quadro 110 video card.

I've built and installed the nvidia-driver port, and it loads the module 
successfully.  However, I'm not getting any newly created devices in 
/dev/, so Xorg won't start (complains about not having the kernel module 
installed, although it is, I presume because the /dev/nvidiactl device 
isn't being created).

Upon kldunloading the nvidia module, my machine panics and dumps, so I 
have some cores lying around.

Does anyone have any hints on this?

Eric
