    Hello,

    I have the same card, you can find drivers for it in the
    /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver directory.

    Note that i had to copy the nvidia.ko file from that directory to
    /boot/kernel myself. Perhaps i did something wrong, but when copied
    manually and added to /boot/loader.conf

    (nvidia_load="YES") it works like a sunshine.

    Oh and could you do a little favor for me in return, wrap your lines at
    80 chars or something. Thanks

    Cheers

    p.s little sidenote, FreeBSD works fine without the drivers, even VESA
    mode under X works. But when working dualscreen and for getting it all
    out of your card, it's better to use the driver.
