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.
