Hi,

I try to do as you said (i.e. reboot and remove "dri" module) but the error
is still there. The /boot/loeader.conf is well configured
(nvidia_load="YES").

I don't install Xorg via the meta-ports, but package by package (i.e.
xorg-server, xinit, nvidia-driver and ). Can the error come here ?

I think the error come from the "glx" module. It's the module of Xorg.

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 1.4.0, module version = 1.0.0
        ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.3
(==) AIGLX disabled
(II) Loading extension GLX

Is it necessary to install x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv ?

Thank you for your help and time :)

Regards,
