Hi The nv driver is part of the official Xorg distribution. Make sure you have the x11/xorg metaport installed as it contains all the official drivers : $ cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg $ sudo make install clean Also, make sure the ModulePath line in your xorg.conf points to the correct location (i.e. /usr/local instead of /usr/X11R6), an easy way to do that is to let Xorg regenerate a new file with # X -cnfigure About the official nvidia drivers, I had no problem installing them using the x11/nvidia-driver port instead of building from the nvidia tarball directly.
