I am trying to configure X11 on my Toshiba Satellite 2435-s255 with a
GeForce4 go graphics card. I am using FREEBSD 5.0.

I downloaded , built, and installed the latest NVidia drivers from the
NVidia site. In order to build the drivers under freebsd 5.0 I had to
comment-out the version checking in one of the nvidia header files.

I changed the XF86Config file to use the "nvidia" driver instead of
the generic "nv" driver.

When I start X, the system crashes and reboots.

Has anyone had any luck configuring X11 with geforce4 under 5.0? Any
help would be very much appreciated.

comp.unix.bsd.freebsd is not widely propagated, so you won't
necessarily get much help here (in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd).
See http://www.freebsd.org/support.html for better ideas...

There's a port called "nvidia-driver".
Try that.
