does x.org support nvidia drivers?

X.org does support nvidia yes.

Just installed freeBSD and updated it. Frankly it's quite awesome in terms of speed and logical organisation. Will also get you a few additional fps in urban terror apparently

I can't seem to make up my mind. Back on gentoo and got rid of freeBSD partition since I can't find the time to learn freeBSD to the point where I can alter it as easily as linux.
Installed X.org and frankly I don't notice any difference in terms of speed or memory footprint. Even urban terror runs the same, with the sensitivity now being a lot higher at same sens value. Ow well, tomorrow we'll see Xorg 6.8 and since I'm an eye candy enthousiast, more is better
Already ran the composite thingie on keith P's framebuffer x-server freedesktop without any acceleration and it still was reasonably fast. Can't wait for a transparent movie playing on top of urban terror

Just installed new X.org (the pre 6.8.0) and the nice features seem to work just fine

I think the only benefit of installing it right now is that you will have x.org instead of xfree86...this matters because almost the entire linux community is going towards x.org, so you're gonna have to install it sooner or later.
