Which version of XFree86 are you using? I read that in the newest release
(I thought it is 3.3.6) the NVIDIA GeForce is supported. You probably have
3.3.5.
See also http://www.xfree86.org/ as this more a XFree86 question than a
FreeBSD question.

The newest version of XFree86 is in the ports-collection.
See http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ for more info on how to update and
install your ports.

I hope you have a direction to search here.

BTW: You can use the generic SVGA server. It will give you more then
320x200 probably.

Greetings,

Ronald.
