Please wrap your lines at ~70 characters. There's actually no such thing as BSD drivers for video cards; all graphics card drivers are part of XFree86. The best place to start searching for compatible cards is at http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/Status.html. Bear in mind that nVidia have traditionally been less than helpful in opening up the specs of their cards, so open source drivers may be hard to come by. There's a couple of commerical X servers mentioned at http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/x.html#AEN3014 which might help.
