Hi All,

I'm testing 7.1 Prerelease right now and am having difficulties to get my
xorg with nvidia up and running.
I updated from:
[mhettwer at motor] <~>uname -a
FreeBSD motor.mobile.rz 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #0: Mon Aug  4
16:54:32 CEST 2008     root at motor.mobile.rz:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC 
i386

with:
[mhettwer at motor] <~>pkg_info xorg-server-1.4.2,1
[mhettwer at motor] <~>pkg_info nvidia-driver-173.14.09

to:
[mhettwer at motor] <~>uname -a
FreeBSD motor.mobile.rz 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0: Wed Sep
10 18:39:19 CEST 2008     root at motor.mobile.rz:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
 i386

with the same xorg-server and nvidia driver.

However, I wind up having a dead lock. Not pingable anymore and blank
screen.
That's very unfortunate.

a dmesg and pciconf of that machine is at:
http://crivens.kernel32.de/~rabauke/FreeBSD/dmesg-7.1-prelease.txt
http://crivens.kernel32.de/~rabauke/FreeBSD/pciconf-7.1-prerelease.txt

I also tried the latest nvidia-driver, which also results in a blank screen
and not pingable machine :(

Any help is highly appreciated!

best regards,
Marian
