May be you have device vga which blocks access to the card, so if you
load nvidia module before the kernel ..

i did it, and no good :(

Michal Varga :

this is a GeForce Go 7600 PCIe from an asus F3T notebook. when I
installed the port, I didnt marl to use FreeBSD agp driver. so by this
info I assume I'm using nvidia's. is that right ?

it is really annoying using without the driver, I cant even watch a
video. frame dropping and everything is slow :(

I also tried the 97xx driver and no luck also :(

Well I'm not sure what exactly is your problem, but this is how I get my driver working:
/boot/loader.conf
nvidia_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"

cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver && make config
everything except AGP is selected.

I'm using and this sysctl - compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
but nvidia driver should work without problems with default 2.4.2.

And your card is too new to use legacy driver :) just go for the latest.

Also if your card is detected you should have hw.nvidia.cards.0.XX too.

can you provide dmesg and pciconf -vl ?
