I have upgraded x11/nvidia-driver to the latest port version (driver version 1.0.9631) and now my X refuses to start in 1600x1200 mode, I even tried with DefaultDepth 16. Reverting to the old driver (driver version 1.0.8776) restores the correct behavior. I have : nvidia0: <Quadro FX 550> mem 0xe8000000-0xebffffff,0xd8000000-0xdfffffff,0xee000000-0xeeffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 FreeBSD ice.irfu.se 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #7: Fri Dec 8 11:09:34 CET 2006 root@ice.irfu.se:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ICE i386 [yuri@ice ~]$ diff /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old |less 14c14 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Dec 8 12:25:28 2006 --- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Dec 8 12:15:34 2006 242c242 < compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.8776 --- > compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.9631 285c285 < compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.8776 --- > compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.9631 299c299 < (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 1.0-8776 Mon Oct 16 22:00:36 PDT 2006 --- > (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 1.0-9631 Thu Nov 9 17:40:39 PST 2006 390,391c390,391 < (**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 < (==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888 --- > (**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 > (==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 565 395,396c395,396 < (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 550 at PCI:1:0:0 < (--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 131072 kBytes --- > (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 550 at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0) > (--) NVIDIA(0): Memory: 131072 kBytes 404a405 > (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1600x1200"; removing. 406d406 < (II) NVIDIA(0): "1600x1200" 14c14 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Dec 8 12:25:28 2006 --- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Dec 8 12:15:34 2006 242c242 < compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.8776 --- > compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.9631 285c285 < compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.8776 --- > compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.9631 299c299 < (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 1.0-8776 Mon Oct 16 22:00:36 PDT 2006 --- > (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 1.0-9631 Thu Nov 9 17:40:39 PST 2006 390,391c390,391 < (**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 < (==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888 --- > (**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 > (==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 565 395,396c395,396 < (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 550 at PCI:1:0:0 < (--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 131072 kBytes --- > (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU Quadro FX 550 at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0) > (--) NVIDIA(0): Memory: 131072 kBytes 404a405 > (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1600x1200"; removing. 406d406 < (II) NVIDIA(0): "1600x1200" 412,416c412,414 < (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1600 x 1200 < (WW) NVIDIA(0): No size information available in DFP-0's EDID; cannot compute < (WW) NVIDIA(0): DPI from EDID. < (==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75); computed from built-in default < (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp --- > (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 1024 > (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (79, 83); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config > (--) NVIDIA(0): option 460c458 < (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1600x1200" --- > (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x1024" 509a508,509 > (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "NVIDIA Damage Notification Manager" (type: Other) > (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "NVIDIA Kernel RC Handler" (type: Ot her) 513a514 > FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
