Release highlights (changes since 71.86.06):
Fixed the subpicture component order reported by the NVIDIA X driver's XvMC implementation.
Fixed a server crash triggered by Kopete's 'new message' popup dialog when a composite manager is enabled.
The 71.86.09 NVIDIA Accelerated FreeBSD Graphics Driver Set for FreeBSD/i386 is available for download via FTP (ftp://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/71.86.09/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-71.86.09.tar.gz).
Please see the README (ftp://download.nvidia.com/freebsd/71.86.09/README/README) for more information about this release.
If you are using FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE or a more recent FreeBSD 6.x release, please make sure that the compat5x package is installed.
Note that the gtk-2.x ports package(s) shipped with FreeBSD releases > 5.3-RELEASE are binary incompatible with those shipped with FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE; due to this, the `nvidia-settings` binary shipped with 71.86.09 will not work on FreeBSD > 5.3-RELEASE. This problem can be solved by (re-)building `nvidia-settings` from source:
# fetch ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-71.86.09.tar.gz
# tar zxf nvidia-settings-71.86.09.tar.gz
# cd nvidia-settings-1.0
# gmake
# install nvidia-settings /usr/X11R6/bin
