After some investigation, it appears that due to "errors" in the acpi
implementation, the driver issues non-conforming acpi calls. Similiar
problems have been reported on Archlinux.

I have opened a topic on devtalk.nvidia.com

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/680155/freebsd/x11-nvidia-driver-331-20-malfunction/


I have can be of any assistance debugging, please say so.

Thanks for any attention,

Punctuation matters:
"Lets eat Grandma." or "Lets eat, Grandma." - Punctuation saves lives.
"A panda eats shoots and leaves." or "A panda eats, shoots, and
leaves." - Punctuation teaches proper biology.

"With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead." (RFC 1925)
