Thank you. Indeed, only the vesa driver is being used. It tries first
to load the "nv" driver but it is not installed.

That's because it is in the non-free section. You could download it
directly from: https://packages.debian.org/sid/xserver-xorg-video-nv
(p.s. it is freely-licensed, open-source code, but was put in the non-
free section because of concerns the code is unclear and not well-
documented IIRC)

The proprietary Nvidia driver almost certainly will not compile on
GNU/kFreeBSD. (Only specific version of GNU/Linux and FreeBSD are
supported at all).
Someday we may have the nouveau driver on GNU/kFreeBSD.
