nVidia SYSCONS Problem on Compaq Presario CQ60

Can anyone help with a syscons error when loading the screen saver on boot up (yes, I know I don't need it if I use X, but I would like to get it working)?

The error looks like...
Configuring syscons: keyrate blanktime screensaver module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (rain_saver, 0xc709a7a0, 0) error 19

I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 running freeBSD 7.2 from a 4G usb drive.

My Compaq has a GeForce 8200m G on vgapci0.
#dmesg | grep nvidia
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
nvidia0: [ITHREAD]

And my /boot/loader.conf has...
nvidia_load="YES"  (just recently built..pkg_info says "nvidia-driver-185.18.29")

And my /etc/rc.conf has (among other things)...
blanktime="300"
saver="rain"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"

Let me know, and I'll send whatever information you need.

The nvidia driver is completely unrelated to syscons.  I think the rain saver
is failing because it doesn't think the relevant graphics mode is available.  
Maybe check for this message in /var/log/messages?

                log(LOG_NOTICE,
                    "%s: the console does not support M_VGA_CG320\n",
                    SAVER_NAME);
                return (ENODEV);

You are correct.  Is there anything I can configure for syscons to work with the screen savers?  Below are some lines from the messages log file.

vgao: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
...
sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0

...
rain_saver: the console does not support M_VGA_CG320
module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (rain_saver, 0xc709b7a0, 0) error 19

Some more info...

The only savers that work are the text based savers, snake, stars, blank...

I did not try a splash screen, but my guess is that it won't work either.

I even put the vesa_load="YES" in my "/etc/rc.load", but still won't work.

It should just work.  I have no idea why it would think your console doesn't
support VGA.  You'd have to add some printfs in the VGA/fb(4) code where it
figures out which video modes to enable to figure that out.
