Unfortunately, when I threw my nVidia card in and installed the driver
from ports, I experienced a whole new set of issues. I symlinked the
driver and glx module to the new locations and started X (with
gnome-session in my .xinitrc file). After a few seconds, the mouse
cursor disappeared and X locked up. I rebooted (from a serial terminal)
and tried again with fvwm2. That actually launched without problems. I
started glxgears and it ran. I quit glxgears by hitting escape. Except
that it never returned me to a prompt at the terminal and the process
hung (though the glxgears window did go away). After a few seconds, the
entire system crashed (which also happens if I try to start another GL
application). I've tried with version 9629, as well, but encountered the
same problem.
Version 8776 works fine, though.
