Text rendering:

Disregard the warnings and add this to the NVidia card's "Device" section i=
n=20
xorg.conf:

        Option      "RenderAccel" "True"

GLX:

Even though the docs say that you might be able to disable FreeBSD's AGPGAR=
T=20
driver by editing /boot/device.hints, if you don't see the expected results=
=20
then go ahead and recompile a new kernel with the "device agp" line=20
commented or remoted and then reboot with it.

The net result of those two actions is a FreeBSD desktop that's every bit a=
s=20
smooth and fast as the equivalent Linux system would be.
