Ian,

Join the club of nonsupported GeForce 2 users. 
Currently, there are XFree86 drivers, but no FreeBSD
kernel drivers.  You need both.  GeForce does work
under linux, using drivers available from
www.nvidia.com.  As of last week, the people at NVidia
are "getting to it, but nobody at FreeBSD will help
us."  I don't know if that is true on the FreeBSD end,
but needless to say you are stuck with either the
console or using X through linux.

It is possible that FreeBSD binaries will be available
by mid to late-November.  That is the best guess they
could give.

Chris Dempsey
