The box is currently down, since somone decided to upgrade it to
-CURRENT and messed up, but Marc Fonvieille was nice enough to put it up
here until tomorrow or so:

http://people.freebsd.org/~blackend/nvidia/faq.html (missing style
sheet, but oh well).

Basically it works fine on -CURRENT, what you are seeing could be
because you have something interfering (anything from ACPI to some old
ISA device), but most likely you are missing SYSVSHM or don't have
sufficiently new X binaries (you need 4.2.1 -Servers, -clients and
-libraries).

If none of the above works, mdodd@ can most likely give you a better
answer.
