I know of a few EDID issues with the current nvidia driver. are you 
using freebsd-7-CURRENT?

Try adding Option "UseEDID" "FALSE" to the Screen section in your X 
configuration file. Hopefully future NVIDIA X driver versions should do 
a better job of detecting invalid EDIDs. Let me know if that solves the 
issues.
