+ The Nvidia driver has been updated to 367.35. In this version of the driver,
+ some important functionality has been broken out into a separate
+ nvidia-modeset.ko.
+
+ Users that experience a hang starting X or observe
+
+ [ 43.243] (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes:
+ [ 43.243] (II) NVIDIA(0): "NULL"
+
+ in their Xorg.logs should replace 'nvidia.ko' with 'nvidia-modeset.ko' in
+ their loader.conf or rc.conf configurations. (nvidia-modeset.ko has a
+ MODULE_DEPENDS relationship to nvidia.ko and will bring it in automatically.)
