To be honest, it happened before, but as far as I know, only once. When nvidia switched to current form of "Unified Driver" that supports multiple generations of GPU architectures in single driver package, nvidia needed some (if I recall correctly, 2) kernel functionalities that FreeBSD didn't...

Awesome. I must have misunderstood gnath's post, I thought it meant a specific kernel version allowed only a range of specific Nvidia driver versions (or even a specific version). Good to know there won't be such nightmare scenario. :)

The breakages should happen on main first. And once the breakage is reported officially (basically via Bugzilla if the reporter cannot provide patches to fix), or we ourselves encountered the breakage, we would dig into the reason why and try to fix. An recent example is 288236 (review...

...need to be build for your specific kernel version. I have an old system, has been upgraded many times over the years. Has an old GT220 Nvidia chipset and needs to use x11/nvidia-driver-390. Can't even remember what FreeBSD version I used initially (it's been 15 years), runs 15.0-RELEASE...

...perfectly fine and expected. The most important thing, for me, is that we can tell when we should stop upgrading. If I can lock the driver to nvidia-driver-580 and then trying to update the base system tells me, at least through a warning, that I should probably not do that because my GPU...

Not sure, as I'm not a member of the KDE desktop script. Please be patient until relevant person (would be alfonsosiciliano) replies. And I found his CFT on Mastodon. Linked repos are: https://github.com/alfonsosiciliano/kde-installer-dialogs/blob/main/cft.md...

Yes. x11/nvidia-kmod-580, x11-nvidia-driver-580 and x11/linux-nvidia-libs-580 are certainly planned once their master port pointing to Production Branch of drivers switch to 590 or later series of drivers, which drops pre-Turing generarions of architectures. graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod-580 would...

Ok . so we have kldlist = nvidia-drm which inturn loads nvidia-modset which inturn loads nvidia.ko . this is fine. What should be the goal of the KDE desktop script as far as NVIDIA part is concerned ? should we aim for a full setup ? Including DRM ...

I suspect a legacy version Nvidia driver will be kept, like x11/nvidia-driver-470 (forever stuck on 470.x), x11/nvidia-driver-390 (forever stuck on 390.x), etc. So, instead of following x11/nvidia-driver for the latest NVidia driver version, you switch to the 'new' legacy version driver when...

...kldloads linux64.ko and any others needed for Linuxulator but not automatically pulled in by linux64.ko, excluding linux.ko. x11/nvidia-driver-470 and non-legacy x11/nvidia-driver{-devel} has 32bit compat libraries, and if enabled LINUX option (default), the compat libraries need linux.ko...

Im testing Alfonso Siciliano's "desktop" KDE environment installation script. I find that the nvidia.ko driver loads the linux.ko driver but not the linux64.ko driver regardless if the ' enable_linux="YES" ' statment exist or not in /etc/rc.conf. the...

...a mean to know in advance which minimal version a kernel is going to require before updating it? I have P40 cards, which are not going to be supported anymore by the newest Nvidia drivers (they dropped Pascal support), so I'm going to have to perform as well such lock in on the installs using...

You have not shown the commands for six lines. However considering the output as installed packages. you need to lock nvidia-driver and nvidia-drm-66-kmod. But those are dependent to the corresponding kernel version. At some point you have to upgrade those along with the kernel if you use...

Well, below is the information I found for the nvidia driver in my machine. nvidia-driver-580.119.02_1 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering nvidia-drm-66-kmod-580.119.02.1500068_2 NVIDIA DRM Kernel Module nvidia-drm-kmod-580.119.02 NVIDIA DRM Kernel Module...

...variable followed by the specified ones. For example, if you already have kld_list="smbfs" in your /etc/rc.conf and invoking sysrc kld_list+=nvidia-modeset as root, the kld_list line would become kld_list="smbfs nvidia-modeset" afterwards. This updated line is generated internally by sysrc...

I think IMG's problem is that he has a too old NVidia card. And since we have no control of the binary driver...

IMHO kld_list+="nvidia-modeset" should also work

How can I install and play Warcraft 3 Trozen Throne in a vm or emulator on FreeBSD? It needs an old Nvidia driver and DirectX 9. Extra nice would be if a method exists that can be reproduced without needing something proprietary. It's like 25 years old...

3D graphics work on FreeBSD. It is compute on GPUs for NVidia hardware (CUDA) that is a problem.

Yeah, that might be a problem. Hopefully someone (AMD, RISC-V, Intel if resurrected ) will end NVIDIA close source era.
