There is another update since but I haven't tried it yet. The nvidia_load="YES" goes into /boot/loader.conf not rc.conf Yes to use nvidia instead of nv in xorg.conf. nvidia-xconfig is a cli app that will configure the xorg.conf without asking for any options while nvidia-settings is a gui app that you can adjust all options and can then generate the xorg.conf to your settings. And if you are running dual monitors I recommend using twinview not xinerama.
