  This message means the Nvidia driver found the native AGP driver
  that comes with FreeBSD. I'd sugest removing "device agp" from your
  kernel and giving it a try. Remember to put nvidia_load="YES" in
  /boot/loader.conf.

  Another sugestion is not to use any kind of compiler optimization
  in /etc/make.conf.

  I've a FX5200 128MB and it worked fine with 5.3-STABLE from
  yesterday.
