This page has the latest Nvidia driver info for FreeBSD:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
Click on the latest release for FreeBSD, then on the left side of the
page click "Supported Products List." That should take you to here
(for the 169.12 release)
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html
The 9xxx chips do not seem to be supported yet. 8800 is the max as
far as I can see. They may be supported soon, but maybe not. If the
laptop is widescreen and you are going to be running FreeBSD on it,
don't get it until the driver supports the graphics card. Unless you
can test the laptop first with a FreeBSD live-cd and check for sure,
you will probably not be able to run the monitor with a widescreen
resolution.
OTOH, if you check the "archive", you'll find this:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_171.06.html
On that page:
"Release Highlights: Added support for GeForce 9600 GT."
I am testing this driver right now with 7600GT, seems like still working.
I looked at the README file in the driver's archive, there are no 9xxx
in the supported list.
