What version? Did you install it from ports or as a package? Did you install the binaries from nvidia or did you install them from ports? If installed from ports, how did you build? What is the card def block in your X config? What are your hw.nvidia sysctls (command: "sysctl hw.nvidia" just in case)? Caveat: Nvidia driver problems have come up twice already in the last week, and several times in the last month or two. Every time it seems there is a magic sword hiding there that causes some poor guy to just not be able to get it working. My setup: FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE. My kernel is build WITHOUT the agp device. NVidia GeForce FX5200. Drivers built from ports with Linux and ACPI support. Xorg 6.8.1 built from ports Xorg config enables the NVidia AGP. I am getting OpenGL acceleration, 8X AGP, and have two monitors presenting an extended desktop. I still haven't figured out the tiny ingredient that makes it all work for me, but keeps it eluding others. That's kinda bugging me - and, I'm sure, those others that can't get it working. Present the info requested above; if I see anything that looks off, you can try it. Maybe we'll finally find the missing link. Good luck.
