One last question; if I install the AMD 64 bit version of FBSD, will
the NV driver work? I know that the regular one won't since it

I am not exactly sure which driver I am using between these two, however I
have found that setting up the driver and display are great with these
packages installed. I guess I would be using the most recent :)

Simple, but wrong.
The driver is not a Linux driver, if you go to the nVidia site you will
see that there are separate Linux and FreeBSD drivers. You don't need
to load linux.ko at all if you built nvidia.ko without Linux support.

What I have found to work is to make the nvidia-driver port, but not
install it (to get the dependencies). Then I would download the recent
driver from nVidia's website (as of this email, 185.18.14), untar it and
install that instead. If nvidia-xconfig doesn't work
I have an nVidia Geforce 6150LE chip on the motherboard. Should I
install the x11/nvidia-driver or the NV driver in
x11-drivers/xorg-drivers? Would it cause a conflict if I tried to
install both and do I even need both of them?
