The problem is that NVidia hasn't updated its binary-only FreeBSD driver since July 1st, 2003. Any cards released after this date will not work properly, or at all, with this driver. So please go bug NVidia. :) But, see also this thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-threads/2003-June/000530.html which might explain why it takes forever for new drivers to arrive. :(
