yes I do have linux compatibility and the port installed successfully. A look at my error in nvidia's README says the following:-
Q. X fails to start, and during bootup time I get the following error message: nvidia0: NVRM: NVIDIA MEM resource alloc failed. A. On certain FreeBSD kernels, it may be necessary to add the following line to '/boot/loader.conf': hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" This should allow the NVIDIA kernel module to attach. but that option does not even exist in freebsd 7.0 Death-Star awaits your command>sudo sysctl hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" Password: sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range' |

I reported this to nVidia in December of last year.
The only way to get the nVidia driver working with more than 3GB RAM is to disable memory remapping in BIOS. A few motherboards have it, most don't. If yours does not, then you can reduce the amount of memory you use, or use your existing memory and the "nv" driver. Be aware that the "nv" driver does not have hardware acceleration, and it does not support multiple monitors (at least it did not when I checked most recently).

Hey thanks for reporting the problem.
Infact I am using the "nv" driver. The only problem is that i cannot watch videos properly cause of the lack of the xv extension. If I can resolve that then I really have no need for the "nvidia" driver. Check out the below Death-Star awaits your command>xvinfo X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present |

NVIDIA's drivers do not support PAE enabled kernels. This was given in the README.
Is there any way that I can watch movies without lag on the "nv" driver? My card is the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS. |

I still seem to have that lag

What, do you mean that the audio trails the video, or vice versa?
That is pretty normal, and is usually a result of audio buffering, video processing delays, or incorrect allowances made for either of them. Use + and - to adjust audio delay until it is perfect(ish!), and then put that value in mplayer's config file. edit: sometimes frame-rate mismatches cause audio to drift out once it is set, and often a video file will have its audio out of sync. The solution is to fix the video file: often mencoder can do that, but it takes some manual reading and expeimentation.
