The new driver (March 31, 2005 release: NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-7174.tar.gz) downloaded from Nvidia's site works great in 5.3. you have to sysinstall and install the kernel sources for its make to work, or you will get this error: cant find: /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk Remember to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the driver "nv" to "nvidia" enjoy the open gl screensavers!

I had used 1.0-6113 from ports. It works nice. But i wanted just to upgrade to the new NVIDIA Version.
