Hi,
Are you loading the nvidia module at boot time? I remember someone
explaining that the nvidia module needs to register the card before the
kernel. A kldload is unsifficient, you need to reboot with this in your
/boot/loader.conf:

-------------8<-----------
nvidia_load="YES"
-------------8<-----------

HTH,
Baptiste
