Problem with latest nvidia driver (270.41.19) for amd64

Hi. May be i wrote to the wrong place, so i apologize if so. After upgrade to version 270.41.19 of x11/nvidia-driver i see problems on FreeBSD 9-amd64 - when everything freezes - the mouse and graphical output. Keyboard (for example cltr + alt + f {1-8}) does not work too. However - machine still available via remotely by SSH, and audio playback is works. In the top i see that Xorg load the cpu core at 100%. I reproduce the problem in only one case - when I try to use adobe flash in firefox. In this case the first time usually flash works, but if i open a new flash or do

killall -9 npviewer.bin

- most likely the problem will appear. I did downgrade nvidia driver to version 256.53 and the problem magically went away. Where am I correct to bug report, to NVIDIA? Has anyone encountered the same problem?

No problem whatsoever with 270.41.19 on 8-STABLE/amd64.

Me neither.

Make sure to set WITHOUT_NOUVEAU in /etc/make.conf before building Xorg.

I also haven't had any issues with 270.41.19 (using 8.2-RELEASE).

SirDice, just out of curiosity what does setting WITHOUT_NOUVEAU do?
