Solved General issue

So I recently installed FreeBSD 10.1 and instead of using ports and portmaster I used the pkg install method and installed xorg, openbox, tint2, wbar, and nvidia-driver-340 (for an 8800GT). My xorg.conf looks like:

Code: 
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

When I try startx to run the desktop, the terminal spits an error and nothing loads.

If I change the driver to vesa, the desktop app loads. So how do I get the Nvidia drivers to install and be used by xorg so that I can leave the Driver line as nvidia and have it work?
 
Nevermind it's solved. FreeBSD wanted a reboot for it to work instead of trying to invoke startx right after using pkg install without a reboot.
