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.
