well, Xorg -version says X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
I think it was installed by sysinstall as a package.
I downloaded the drivers from nvidia.
the device section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "MyGeForce"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA"
BoardName "GeForce4 MX 440"
EndSectionthe sysctls:

kernel is basically the default one, built with agp device.
I *am* getting the acceleration, however, something is not quite right.
As i said, tuxracer runs just fine, so maybe it's some OpenGL feature which most of the apps use, but tuxracer doesn't?
Anyway, i should probably try updating everything to the latest versions and see what happens then. Not so sure that it would help though :(
One more thing, I can't find any line in Xorg config relating to agp. How is it enabled?

Next set of questions: Are you running Xorg? What version? Did you install it from ports or as a package?
Did you install the binaries from nvidia or did you install them from ports? If installed from ports, how did you build?
What is the card def block in your X config?
What are your hw.nvidia sysctls (command: "sysctl hw.nvidia" just in case)?
Caveat: Nvidia driver problems have come up twice already in the last week, and several times in the last month or two. Every time it seems there is a magic sword hiding there that causes some poor guy to just not be able to get it working.
My setup: FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE. My kernel is build WITHOUT the agp device. NVidia GeForce FX5200. Drivers built from ports with Linux and ACPI support. Xorg 6.8.1 built from ports Xorg config enables the NVidia AGP.
I am getting OpenGL acceleration, 8X AGP, and have two monitors presenting an extended desktop. I still haven't figured out the tiny ingredient that makes it all work for me, but keeps it eluding others. That's kinda bugging me - and, I'm sure, those others that can't get it working.
Present the info requested above; if I see anything that looks off, you can try it. Maybe we'll finally find the missing link.
Good luck. Lou

well, yes. the module section looks like this:
Section "Module" Load "freetype" # Load "xtt" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "dbe" Load "record" Load "xtrap" Load "type1" Load "speedo" EndSection

To get accelerated OpenGL, i installed Nvidia's drivers for my Geforce4 MX 440 on a FreeBSD 5.3-release machine.
The problem is, most of the games and apps that use OpenGL do not run smoothly - every second or so they would freeze for a little while which makes it impossible to enjoy them.
At first I thought my system could be too slow or something, however, this also happens with simple apps, even screensavers.
What's more, the game Tuxracer runs smoothly without any problems, and since it's a pretty fancy one, i guess that rules out system performance.
Does anybody have a clue as to what could be causing this?
Are you loading the glx module in your Xorg config?
