Not sure about Twinview, but I found the following http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-June/010814.html There seems to be a few options that have to be setup for enabling Twinview and configuring the second monitor.

nVidia driver problem w/ FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE + mplayer
Hi, I have installed 5.2.1-RELEASE on my system (Athlon XP/nForce 2 Ultra/GeForce 3). Unfortunately, I am not able to use nVidia's fbsd drivers. I saw a few posts that mentioned it would work under fbsd-5 although it was written for 4. Any idea on what might be the problem? The initial bootup gives messages saying 'PCI bus mastering disabled' and 'Unable to access memory ...'. Loading this driver also prevents it from detecting other PCI devices such as my Netgear FA311 and 3Com (integrated, 3c509, i think) NICs. Is there any workaround for this? I have not specified a chipset as mentioned in http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?B06CC0370BBC0F4EA588FD6952A9392502293A Also, when I install the mplayer package as well as apache 1.3, it halts with the error code -1. How do I get around this? I am installing them from the main FTP site.
