as far as i know vmware does not pass ur video card to the gast OS but
simulates a different one.  so ur fbsd will not see any geforce but the
vmware svga card. 

i guess u will have to install the vmware tools which will create a
XF86Config template if i remember correctly (incl. correct card).

hope that helps
