The nvidia driver included doesn't support the older GF4 cards. Here's 
what it supports now:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd-x86-280.13-driver.html -> click

I'll take a look and see if there is a way to include the previous 
version(s) as well, but it may be a bit tricky :)

The fusefs-ntfs port didn't build correctly for the BETA1 release, I'll 
take a look into it and try to fix for the next update.
