The desktop machine is running:

FreeBSD galacticdominator.com 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #1: Mon Oct  4
14:22:18 CDT 2010
adam at galacticdominator.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GALACTICDOMINATOR
amd64
nvidia-driver-195.36.15_1
xorg-server-1.7.5,1


The vm server is running:FreeBSD vbox.galacticdominator.com 8.1-STABLE
FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #1: Thu Oct  7 06:02:07 CDT 2010
adam at vbox.galacticdominator.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
xorg-server-1.7.5,1
xf86-video-ati-6.13.0 / xf86-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_3

Also as another data point, I put the other nvidia back in and with it the
ssh forwarding works properly.  Somewhere I think I heard the OpenGL in the
binary Nvidia is different than the standand OpenGL.  Perhaps that is the
problem.  The attached X.org.log is from the vm host system and there is no
xorg.conf on the system.

Yes, I've tried both that and the --rmode sdl and it doesn't seem any
different.  Error and visuals are all the same regardless of option.
