Default nVidia GeForce3 Ti200...problems.

Ey guys. New to this place, so i greet you all!

I have a MSI made GF3 Titanium that used to work great under 5.4-RELEASE. I would download drivers from nVidia's site, "make install", "nvidia-xconfig" as root, and it would be done. DRI + OpenGL, and it would show neat nVidia logo as i entered X11.

Now i'm on 7.0-RELEASE, same computer. I haven't bothered doing graphics before as it's primarily a home server/router, but i started using it as a workstation. Now i wanted to get graphics up and running. Same procedure as before, yet this time X11 hangs without any error message (prior to switching resolution, still in console), computer is frost for a couple of seconds, and then it reboots.

I tried building nVidia drivers from ports. Those seem to work well, but there's no GLX. Kernel module is loaded, GLX/DRI is enabled in xorg.conf (and it's on mode 0666 for non-root access).

So i'm seeking for solution. Thank you in advance. Rule out any hardware issues, this hardware is 7 years old and i haven't had a problem in all those years. Besides, Windows2000 is running ok with Direct3D games.
