In /usr/ports/UPDATING it`s say:


"20070913:
  AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg, x11/nvidia-driver
  AUTHOR: flz at FreeBSD.org

  X.org ports were updated to 7.3.  Since we're now using the modular
  build, the upgrade is pretty much painless.  If you're using the
  x11/xorg meta-port, upgrade should be as easy as:

  # portupgrade -R xorg

  Users of nvidia-driver will have to make sure Composite extension is
  turned off and start Xorg with the following command:

  $ startx -- -ignoreABI

  The -ignoreABI option is a Xorg option. If you're using gdm, kdm or
  xdm, you will have to modify your configuration file so that Xorg
  starts with this option.

  An updated nvidia-driver should be released soon."


I did tryed to start x with "startx -- -ignoreABI" but it gives the same
error.
The port`s are up-to-date, (I used portsnap) and I i did an portupgrade -a
-r -R but x dose not start with "nvidia" line.
Any Ideeas to start X with nvidia driver except waiting for a new driver?
How i do an downgrade to xorg to use this nvidia driver?
