My /etc/X11/XF86Config is exactly as xf86config would generate it for my GeForce4 Ti4400, but I uncommented 'load "glx"' and switched the Driver in the Device section to "nvidia" along with doing the regular switch of the mouse driver to auto and setting the mouse device to /dev/sysmouse. I'm running an AMD XP1800+ at stock clock in an EPoX 8KHA (KT266 chipset) with an Abit Siluro GeForce4 Ti4400, FreeBSD-4.7-STABLE as of two nights ago and XFree86-4 from the same time. My kernel is relatively boring and uninteresting, just stripped or any drivers I don't need and with psm flags of 0x200 to play nice with my IOGear KVM switch. Not that it really makes any difference, but the output from glxinfo is available at http://www.scoundrelz.net/~hemi/glxinfo-nvidia.txt for those that are curious. If you'd like any other config files (XF86Config, kernel config, loader.conf, rc.conf, anything), just let me know. I've only had one problem with the drivers, and that was an unpredicted/unexplained hard lock during a long BZFlag session :) Everything else, from glxgears to xscreensaver to Tuxkart has been downright flawless. I haven't yet tried the Linux binary support, but I'll get around to it eventually.
