Which Nvidia driver version are you using? I found the GTX460 to be
so unstable with the stock driver that it was useless. It works much
better with the 270.26 "beta" version. I wonder if the GT430 might
also work with 270.26. If you are not using 270.26 and want to upgrade,
remember to pkg uninstall the existing driver first (or you might destroy
/sbin and make your system unbootable).

Even with 270.26, I'm running into Osol bug id 5748 only too often. I was
wondering if you had experienced this bug when using the GTX460...
