Hi,

I cannot get DGA to work with the latest nvidia-driver v8174.
The message, I get is:

X Error of failed request:  XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode

I compiled nvidia-driver with -DWITH_LEGACY_GPU_SUPPORT and
it's back again. It installs an older version (v7174).

System:
- FreeBSD-6.0R
- Nvidia Geforce4 Ti 4200
- latest Xorg

I have also a second problem. I am not able to use nvidia-driver
with FREEBSD_AGP. It seems to work, but it freezes from time to
time giving me

NVRM: Xid: 13, 0000 02009700 00002597 0000152c 00010001 00400000

or similar in my syslog. I can still killall -9 Xorg, but
something is wrong there, in my opinion. If I deselect
FREEBSD_AGP, it works fine on v7174. I can reproduce this
situation with opening a new tab in konqueror for example.

Anyone having similar problems?

Martin
