Hello,

I'm trying to make X work on FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE r369362 with a GeForce GT 1030.

Maybe you need a BusID directive in the Device section?
There are some cases the driver seems not to find the correct one on its own.

Example: BusID “PCI:41:0:0”

pciconf -lv |grep vgapci -A5
tells you which one to use.

FWIW, X did work fine in this same hardware setup under 12.1-STABLE. Yesterday I updated from source, after which neither the new nor the old kernel booted. I installed an additional hard drive and installed on the new hard drive 12.2-STABLE and imported the old zpool - but haven't been able to start X.

Try rebuilding the kernel driver for a change. Also, there is no 12.2-STABLE, it's just 12-STABLE.

Do you mean rebuild kernel (and world)? That's what I did, and the new kernel did not boot (nor did the old).

This computer thinks it's 12.2-STABLE:

# uname -v
FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE r369362 GENERIC
 
Does the new kernel just hang, or does it panic somewhere, giving a hint what might have gone wrong?
If this problem persists, maybe open a specific thread to find out what is wrong?

Your nvidia card is PCI ID 0, and not some other, so I think it is not a missing BusID entry, but some other problem.

No, the x11/nvidia-driver port.

# uname -v
FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE r369362 GENERIC
Computer is in the wrong there. (You are running a build from the stable/12 branch with changes that eventually will go into the 12.3 release.)
 
Could you please extract the last startup sequence in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and post it?
There must be something wrong after the nvidia driver starts, but that is hard to see if only part of that log is shown.

Thank you for your patience!
 
The message "More than one possible primary device found" wonders me, but I think it is a result of the BIOS somehow not fully disabling the onboard Matrox VGA.
However I have no idea why the Nvidia driver does not load.

Before the Nvidia driver becomes active (-> messages with uppercase "NVIDIA", there should be loaded a few other modules (here from my xorg log)
Code:

I am wondering, are the libraries /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/libfb.so and /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so present on your computer? Don't know if it matters...

Above you see a warning about a missing kernel arbiter, which confuses me a bit, because on my computer is no secondary graphics card.
I have no experience with dual-graphics-card-setups. I have read people say that one needs to provide/install a driver (possibly x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga, but not sure - the driver might be outdated) even when not using the secondary graphics card. No idea whether it matters.

If this doesn't help, maybe it is best to wait a bit, the gurus are asleep now...

well if it does not work with a BusID “PCI:1:0:0” directive in the nvidia cards' "Device" section of the xorg.conf, which practically only says "do not search for cards, just use that card you find at these PCI coordinates", then I'd be really curious what the gurus will say tomorrow,,,
 
  • shkhin meant the kernel module. The graphics driver. Merged this he wrote "kernel driver". This is common "nerd slang".
  • Since 12-STABLE is source-only IIRC, this looks strange to me; because 12-STABLE implies you built kernel & world from source, incl. graphics drivers; correct?
  • You must not install any kernel modules from packages (*-kmod) on any *-STABLE revision. You didn't, correct?
  • The point is: you built the graphics driver from ports(7) on that very same system, good. The stable branch should be -- well, very stable; that will be the next 12.3 revision, it receives updates every few days. Doesn't mean it is bug-free.
  • BIOS: legacy or UEFI? Please try harder to make sure there is only one graphics port. Disable the others. Once we succeed to have something working, you can try to enable the 2nd graphics port and maybe find a configuration where you can switch between both or maybe even run both concurrently. But let's start with the most basic config possible.
  • xorg.conf: ideally we should start without and the X11 server should start; it's automagic is very very good, often better than the average human.

I have downloaded FreeBSD-12.2-STABLE-amd64-20210225-r369362-memstick.img and installed it from a USB stick. No packages installed, everything built from ports on the same system, including the nvidia driver.

I did not.

STABLE has been very stable in my experience.

But let's start with the most basic config possible.
It's legacy. The motherboard is an old SUPERMICRO MBD-H8SGL-F-O ATX.

I have toggled to onboard VGA in the BIOS. Verified that the monitor input is VGA, not HDMI (which is connected to the NVIDIA card).

Also, commented out nvidia:

# cat /boot/loader.conf
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
opensolaris_load="YES"
zfs_load="YES"
kern.vty="vt"
# nvidia_load="YES"
# nvidia-modeset_load="YES"


Also, deleted existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf (generated previously with nvidia-xconfig(1)).

  • xorg.conf: ideally we should start without and the X11 server should start; it's automagic is very very good, often better than the average human.
Well, tried to start X again, but failed:

I have looked at the sources of the xf86-video-mga driver. It supports your onboard vga chip. So it might be interesting to pkg install the driver and look what happens.

With my currently installed Nvidia cards I was not able to use HDMI or DP.
No idea why... could be defective cable, monitor, card or driver. I am using DVI or VGA. In case you have a VGA or DVI cable, maybe try it?

Just installed x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga, getting the same error.
 
I'd suggest to trace it (with truss or ktrace). Pay attention to what happens with /dev/nvidia* files, see if there are any failing ioctls.
I fell back on the onboard video (VGA) which can't start X either. Unfortunately, I have no expertise to interpret truss(1) output. I have attached the file.

Also, deleted existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf (generated previously with nvidia-xconfig(1)).
Without an X configuration file for the NVIDIA driver there won't be a use of the full potential of the GPU, all attempts to diagnose the problem without loading the driver are useless. As the Xorg.0.log in #19 shows no NVIDIA driver is loaded. Please put the following minimal configuration into /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf, restart Xorg and report back:

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