Are you sure you have hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1 line and hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1 line in your /boot/loader.conf? The former is mandatory to make nvidia-drm.ko activated. The latter is basically optional, but GPUs with Blackwell generation of architecture (RTX 5xxx) are known to...

People say to use drm-66-kmod but I installed drm-latest-kmod and it works but I've pulled my nvidia card (unrelated to this) and it runs fine on Intel i7 processor. I also uninstalled the kmod before upgrading and then reinstalled it after.

Some of the older Nvidia drivers might disappear though, the 304 version for example has been broken for many years due to changes in Xserver. The 340 version appears to have broken recently too, also due to changes in Xserver. Eventually those old drivers will start to fail one after another...

I'm happy that FreeBSD still provides the driver. Linux has largely dropped the support for the legacy drivers like the Nvidia-390 drivers i need, and i'd have to rely on the Nouveau drivers, which ain't great.

The 'regular' NVidia driver typically doesn't depend on kernel functions that change, so they often "just work". Things get a lot more hairy if you use the NVidia-DRM drivers, similar to the Intel/AMD DRM drivers, those depend on LinuxKPI in the kernel and that's a very fast moving target...

...commenting out kld_list appears to do the trick, and if I'd done a bit of homework first, I would have known. Never mind. On a side note, I've got another old PC, a HP Pavilion 550-182na, which has go an ancient Nvidia NVS 310 card in it. That upgrade to 15.1 went without incident. Thanks

Hmm, it seems something is missing on drm-66-kmod: nvidia-drm-66-kmod-devel-610.43.02 loads but exposes non-functional DRM device on RTX 5080. Wayland and Xorg both fail when nvidia-drm.ko is loaded. With nvidia-drm.ko loaded (built from ports against running 15.1): - sway: "Found 0 GPUs...

Fighting all night with drm-kmod I was finally being able to have 15.1 running on a Thinkpad P53. I disabled hybrid graphics and using nvidia only.

Yes, on my Dell XPS 8700, I ran into Nvidia issues. See my post at https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/good-news-today.102946/post-763983. In my case, (Nvidia GT1030--I don't think it's the original card) was the problem. I fixed it by restarting, booting, then updating ports then installing...

The error was to do with kdb im using nvidia with wayland and dwl I should have mentioned that Side note here is how to convert an org file to bbcode for the forum_draft pandoc -f org -t bbcode freebsd-15-1-upgrade.org -o forum_draft.txt

...upgrading to Freebsd 15-1 on my Dell XPS 15 but it was a total fail :) I seem to remember the last time i had this issue was because the nvidia driver were still built against the previous version could that be the issue or am i just missing something else Thank heavens for bectl i booted...

Ok, this might be a longish one, and I even thought of giving it its own thread, but anyway... My main workstation is an older Dell with an Nvidia card. I went to update it via the instructions, but it said it was up to date, though it was running 15.0-p10. So, I finally realized that on both...

If modern Linux distributions "work" on it, which I'd be surprised if they did, then congrats and tell me which one(s)! I had to switch because I couldn't use the proprietary driver and nouveau was completely messed up. Since I'm having the same problems with 340 on FreeBSD 15, I feel as though...

...580.xxdriver supports the following set of GPUs: line and The 470.xxdriver supports the following set of GPUs: line in Appendix A. Supported NVIDIA GPU Products part of their README would be your target, regarding expected pricings. But if GPUs at Turing or Ampere generations of...

Or various (certified) Android TV devices, like the NVidia Shield. The NVidia Shield is great. Bought one 10-15 years ago? Can't remember exactly, but I still get regular OS updates for it. Most smartphones or tablets don't get that kind of support.

I've been using /etc/X11/xorg.conf until I've switched to graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod* for maintaining them. 😁

No, nvidia-xconfig is not mandatory since forever, and no package should have its files in system prefix, the location is /usr/local/etc/X11 Absolute beginner error. Do not do that. This is not Linux. Do not search for random FreeBSD sources unless you specifically know you cannot find what...

x11/nvidia-kmod-340 has nvidia.ko only. Even nvidia-modeset.ko is NOT provided. And there are no graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod-340, too. Currently nvidia-drm.ko is available only for ones corresponding with x11/nvidia-kmod, x11/nvidia-kmod-devel and x11/nvidia-kmod-580.

Same old driver: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/cant-get-gui.102891/ There's a good chance the old 340 NVidia driver doesn't work any more with a recent Xserver. NVidia stopped support for these old cards a long time ago. The older 304 driver has been broken a long time for the same reason...
