PC-BSD comes with graphics card drivers, you should try to use one of those.
Press "7" when the PC-BSD start menu comes up, that brings you directly to the X-configuration program.
There should be at least 3 nvidia drivers - nv, 96... and 17x... or 180... If you have a modern card, try the 17x/180... driver, or else one of the other ones.
What card to you have?
