FreeBSD 15.1 + KDE Plasma 6 + NVIDIA — Black Screen with SDDM on HP OMEN
Hi everyone,
I've been using FreeBSD for years, and I've recently installed FreeBSD 15.1 with KDE Plasma 6 on my HP OMEN laptop, using ZFS as the filesystem.
I've traditionally preferred XFCE because of its simplicity...
.../usr/ports packages and precompiled packages from PKG install... You can have incompatibility software and I hope it don't occurr in long term your system can be corrupted... From ports it's take more time to have latest versions. But you always can install manually from Nvidia page the binary.
...(by me, and by others), loading GSP (GPU System Processor) firmware is mandatory to work (GPU firmwares should be incorporated in large nvidia.ko) by putting hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1 in your /boot/loader.conf.
For others (unrelated with NVIDIA GPU drivers), how did you...
No changes before upgrade, the machine goes on and off daily.
After the upgrade I upgraded the nvidia drivers from 99 to 104 and the next step would have been to step into the linuxlator to upgrade the cuda stuff.
I guess I could try and rebuild the linuxlator retracing my post and see what...
...visual improvement to the FreeBSD boot process, particularly for desktop users.
I'm currently running FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE with KDE Plasma, NVIDIA graphics and UEFI boot.
During startup, FreeBSD displays the boot logo initially, but then switches to a text console showing system...

KDE Plasma 6.7.5 runs under Wayland.
NVIDIA driver 595.104.02 initializes successfully.
Briefly pressing the case's physical Power button triggers a normal shutdown. After restarting...
...that I just added on my user this 2 lines
export WLR_DRM_DEVICES=/dev/dri/card1
export SWAY_UNSUPPORTED_GPU=true
, however I wonder this nvidia-smi is showing 0 processes even that I can take screenshot and all???
Also btop is not showing any GPU info
But this command show info when...
...Im running 15-1-p5 with wayland and plasma which needs the DRM susbsystem to work
Im not using the Intel GPU , but using Nvidia . drm.ko is loaded int to the kernel and works.
Its possible ofcourse that the issues is with the Intel GPU .

In case wayland would suffice for the use cases I currently have in mind...
Not sure, but possibly worth trying to (temporarily) rename
/usr/local/share/egl/egl_external_platform.d/09_nvidia_wayland2.json
to
/usr/local/share/egl/egl_external_platform.d/99_nvidia_wayland2.json
to lower its priority to be lowest.
This could help if dwl supports well for EGLStream-based...
I added the following to my /boot/loader.conf
hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1
But i still get the egl error when starting either mangowm or dwl
i currently have this installed

should i be using the newer version...
This summer was awful.
Quarterly had Nvidia userland ( nvidia-driver) for 15.0 and kmods for 15.0
kmods_quarterly_1 had Kmods for 15.1
When you tried to install 15.1 with Nvidia from ONLY Quarterly you got 15.0 kmods. didnt work.
When you tried to...
...then you will have issues of some sort. Make sure that you dont mix kmods for diffrent Freebsd versions.
#3 pkg info | egrep "nvidia|drm" will list your graphics kmods , check that they are all for the same O/S version.
