I was following the installation instructions in the README document for FreeBSD, which say: >>>>> (sec-03) BASIC CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS [[...]] Important is the 'Load "glx"' line, which instructs the X server to load the NVIDIA GLX XFree86 extension module. The "dri" and "GLcore" lines often present in auto-generated configuration files are not required, but shouldn't do any harm. <<<<< But, after I saw those errors in my XFree86 startup log file I commented out the ``Load "dri"'' line in my /etc/X11/XF86Config file, to be parallel with the actual example config section in the README. I haven't since restarted X, so I don't know if it has made those errors go away. Perhaps the README document distributed with the drivers (and on the WWW page) should be amended to tell people to remove the ``Load "dri"'' line to be on the safe side?
