Exclamation problems with nvidia-driver-169.12

System - 7.0 Realease
All ports are up to date
(nv driver is working allright)
Hardware:
Motherboard - ASUS-M2N-X PLUS
Video card - GeForce 7300 GT (pci-e)
After installing nvidia-driver from ports I launch startx, then I have X working only for 15 seconds or so. The second startx gives no result.

I looked in logs and found the following:
Code:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA kernel module does not appear to be receiving
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     interrupts generated by the NVIDIA graphics device
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     PCI:2:0:0.  Please see Chapter 6: Common Problems in the
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     README for additional information.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) OS did not count PCI devices, guessing wildly
OK. I go to chapter 6. It tells about IRQ conflicts and suggests to change device slot, which is impossible in my case (single pci-e slot).
To watch IRQs:

Code:
% dmesg | grep "irq 11"
ehci0: <EHCI (generic) USB 2.0 controller> mem 0xddefec00-0xddefecff irq 11 at device 2.1 on pci0
atapci1: <nVidia nForce MCP61 SATA300 controller> port 0xd400-0xd407,0xd080-0xd083,0xd000-0xd007,0xcc00-0xcc03,0xc880-0xc88f mem 0xddefc000-0xddefcfff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci0
atapci2: <nVidia nForce MCP61 SATA300 controller> port 0xc800-0xc807,0xc480-0xc483,0xc400-0xc407,0xc080-0xc083,0xc000-0xc00f mem 0xddeef000-0xddeeffff irq 11 at device 8.1 on pci0
nvidia0: <GeForce 7300 GT> port 0xec00-0xec7f mem 0xdf000000-0xdfffffff,0xc0000000-0xcfffffff,0xde000000-0xdeffffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci2
I did everything required for driver installation (at least I hope so)

Code:
% kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   14 0xc0400000 906518   kernel

I tried to add BusID "PCI:2:0:0" in Section "Device" and recompiled kernel without AGP support. Still no good.

I was little confused by this:

and launched

Just guessing: You have more than 3GB RAM?

Did you reboot after installing? Does /dev/nvidiactl exist?

I believe that the nvidia driver will not work with 7.0 unless loaded on first boot by adding 'nvidia_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf. You may also need to disable loading of the freebsd agp module by adding 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' to /boot/device.hints. On my system loading the nvidia module during boot causes constant reboots so I am using 6.3 and loading nvidia after the loader finishes. With 6.3 the nvidia driver can be loaded after boot. You may also need to add 'Option "NvAGP" "3"' to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

The symptoms for that case are different (assuming you can't cancel memory remapping). In that case the X server locks solid when you enter it, though the system is still alive (by ssh, for example).

I thought the OP might have that problem, but it is just different.

I did. And /dev/nvidiactl is on its place.

I added nvidia_load="YES" in loader.conf. I also recompiled kernel with AGP support turned off. Isn't it similar to disabling it by device.hints?
Here:
Code:
localhost% kldstat -v | grep "agp"
localhost%

Should I add this in Section "Device" ?

You might have more luck asking on the nvnews.net freebsd forum: http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=47

One of the nvidia developers actually monitors that forum, and since I'm guessing this isn't a configuration problem but, instead, a incompatibility with your system, it may be that only nvidia can help.

Solved by turning on APIC support in BIOS.
Thanks.
