NVIDIA Issues

[Ron Georgia <rong1611%yahoo.com@localhost>]

I am having some issues with desktops. I can run windowmaker and openbox almost without problem. The problem I do have is when I try to exit openbox or windowmaker, things freeze up. The session never ends, forcing a hard reboot. If I try to launch xfce4, only the background screen loads and I can move the mouse, but that’s it. I also get frequent core dumps from various running applications. For example I see firefox.core and wmaker.core. I am running NetBSD 8 on my Lenovo X200 without these issues. Any suggestions?
