That's more than I got.  I loaded X, and the laptop immediately rebooted
with no messages in the X log, no dump, and no stack trace.  This was
about two and a half weeks ago.  I'm running -stable on the laptop now,
and X comes up, but immediately crashes the laoptop with screen corruption
when it exits.

Matthew Dodd (mdodd@) wrote the FreeBSD nvidia driver, and a while ago
asked for feedback on the GeForce2 Go.  I sent him what I could.  You
might send him your dump analysis.
