Yep, no problems here. Are you sure the driver is loaded into your
kernel?
# kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 15 0xc0400000 550b18 kernel
2 2 0xc099c000 28638 linux.ko
...
5 1 0xc0a18000 693b10 nvidia.ko
You need these lines in /boot/loader.conf:
nvidia_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"
(The Linux mod is if you built the driver with support for Linux
DRI)
