After years of using nvidia 6200 with "nv", I had to
move to above mentioned gt520. Fast search shoes I
"nvidia-driver". Correct? And to change "nv" in conf
file to "nvidia" with "nvidia_load="YES"" in
rc.conf?
I wait to install the card till release comes out.
Best regards all

Thanks Chuck!
I'd avoid xconfig at all. I was puzzled with need to install
prop blob. OK, nothing to stay awaken all night. :)

There is another update since but I haven't tried it yet. The nvidia_load="YES" goes into /boot/loader.conf not rc.conf Yes to use nvidia instead of nv in xorg.conf. nvidia-xconfig is a cli app that will configure the xorg.conf without asking for any options while nvidia-settings is a gui app that you can adjust all options and can then generate the xorg.conf to your settings. And if you are running dual monitors I recommend using twinview not xinerama.
