Well, I was able to work around this issue by creating an xorg.conf and 
using 'nv' driver though looks like one can download an updated nvidia 
driver that addresses this issue.

Note: I did not install this new driver as I wasn't sure if  my next pkg 
image-update will some how mess this configuration. So, for now, I will 
just go with 'nv' driver - now waiting for b93..

 Please check out this message thread for more update on this issue

hope this helps
thanks
