Ok, I answered my own question, on upgrading to the new nvidia driver did the trick. I used the driver direct from nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-6113.html Followed the README and all is well, the downloaded driver also added the nvidia_load="YES" line to loader.conf, so far only tested KDE 3 and its working.
