Is nvidia compatible with nvidia ? ahem I mean PC-BSD...

[RainStaff]

I'm struggling to get PC-BSD (32 bit) to load the different nvidia drivers on my configuration. Whatever I try I get back to vesa with a maximum screen resolution of 1280x1024. My system : ASUS P5K, Core 2 Duo e6750, 4GB ram, nvidia 8600 GT, 1680x1050 LCD...

This issue is really frustrating, after several attempts (I even downloaded the drivers from nvidia and make install), the system could not load X anymore. Does anybody have any ideas on how to overcome this problem ? I was really eager to try this promising BSD flavour. The PBI feature and its "dependency hell" free philosophy is really an awesome concept. Nowadays storage isn't an issue anymore and I'd rather sacrifice some space for a cleaner and better organized system.
