Disabling MTRR using John Baldwin's patch did the trick, I'm now sending this from X-Windows using the regular nv driver. Wonderful! I'm sure this carries a speed penalty, but I can't really notice it in any of my usual 2D stuff. > (See http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/mtrr.patch for John Baldwin's > patch to disable MTRR from the loader.) This patch should go into the tree so that future users can install FreeBSD on their KT333 boards with Nvidia cards (I'm sure that's a common platform for new machines) > Try disabling ACPI.

I had slightly patched it to compile on -CURRENT. The new one works unpatched, but the end result is the same, the module load fails with the msg: kernel: nvidia0: <GeForce2 MX/MX 400> mem 0xd8000000-0xdfff ffff,0xd6000000-0xd6ffffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1 kernel: nvidia0: Unable to allocate NVIDIA memory resource. kernel: device_probe_and_attach: nvidia0 attach returned 6 and the nvidia driver for X won't run without this one working. Anyway thanks for your MTRR tip that made this system work with my Nvidia card! Now I only have the sound problems to worry about: periodic hiccups (periodic short bursts of noise) when playing mp3s under xmms, with the internal cmedia sound chip or even a yamaha ymf744 pci card.
