The new driver (March 31, 2005 release: NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7174.tar.gz)
downloaded from Nvidia's site works great in 5.3.

you have to sysinstall and install the kernel sources for its make to work,
or you will get this error:
cant find:
/usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk

Remember to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the driver "nv" to
"nvidia"

enjoy the open gl screensavers!

I had installed the nvidia-1.0.7174 from nvidia.
I had used 1.0-6113 from ports. It works nice. But i wanted just to
upgrade to the new NVIDIA Version.
