Hi, thanks Maxime, your patch works ok! Well, the nVIDIA driver is labeled "beta quality" anyway, so, why not upgrade nvidia-driver port to support 5-CURRENT too? I'm actually using it, with a ugly hack: applying the patch, compacting and copying the new distfile, editing Makefile to comment 4.x (/dev entries) stuff and 5.x (IGNORE), make NO_CHECKSUM=yes install clean.
It's working great, my "big" stress test is the glx version of Quakeforge. :) I can run it in a range of 40-77 FPS (640x480, fullscreen). glxgears reports 551.400 FPS in default size.
