Is it assumed that DRM-latest-Kmod version 69 is to be used with Freebsd 15.1 ? Im seeing kernel panics trying to start Graphics ( startx or start wayland ) On modern hardware ( eg Arrow Lake cpu with Nvidia RTXPRO 4000 Blackwell ) when using...

Hmm, I admit that the handbook, on the Xorg setup part is a sure way to get a non working X11 environment due to the way gpus and drm have evolved (i.e. modesetting is the way for most recent gpus) and Nvidia can also trip up some stuff, but it generally works. I expect this to improve now that...

Cedric62, sorry I wasn't very clear. I use packages almost entirely. However, as I've mentioned, somewhere on this forum there are explanations as to why Nvidia packages sometimes don't work, usually because they will be out of sync--I forget if it's more common with setting pkg to latest or...

Alright, but I think that I've been using packages since I started using FreeBSD this past February. Is it a wise idea to suddenly switch to ports at this point?

Cedric62 I have that same card. I use latest for pkgs. As I mentioned above, I have almost always been able to fix Nvidia issues by, first updating my ports tree, then using portmaster to build nvidia-drm-kmod. (Though I do have to use the nvidia-580 stuff, as mentioned in /usr/ports/UPDATING's...

Below is a sample of the original text file I used to use with my script in order to restore my system. The below nvidia packages listed in my text file don't seem to make any mention of version number, so I'm not sure what is happening? lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter...

Well NVDIA driver is written by a FreeBSD guy. :) https://www.freshports.org/graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod/ I mean you can (not must) , compile everything from source. Compare it to : https://www.gentoo.org/

It might be worth mentioning that doing pkg upgrade without a y (for yes) flag, will also show what packages will be upgraded. Then, you don't have to bother with the dry run, you'll see that what packages will be upgraded and you're asked if you should proceed and you can choose no. There are a...

Exactly. So, in some unfortunate cases, rolling back graphics/drm-*-kmod causes unworkable (with GUI) computers. Usually rebuilding are sufficient, though, but this can happen when the upgrades for graphics/drm-*-kmod are to chase LinuxKPI changes. And this is why I recommend to use NVIDIA...

If you're using NVIDIA driver ports in old-school way (without graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod*), the situations would be quite rare. On the other hand, as LinuxKPI often breaks KBI (Kernel Binary Interface), rebuilding for graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod* are nealy mandatory for every LinuxKPI upgrades...

With duplicates. 😭 When I filed 294870, there were no others yet. Encountered when I was proceeding the last-minutes rebasing for patch to upgrade NVIDIA driver ports to 595.71.05 before filing PR / opening review for it, thus, pending until graphics/drm-61-kmod and graphics/drm-66-kmod are...

I have verified on my desk PC. It looks like now pkg upgrade will not upgrade nvidia-drm-* related pacakges eventhough there is no locking. I currently on 15.0-RELEASE-p6. So the only package I locked now is the nvidia-settings, when running pkg lock -l Currently locked packages...

Well, here is something interesting I learned today... Earlier I created a list of all the packages which needed to be upgraded on my system by invoking the below command. # pkg upgrade -n >/home/Simon/Temp/packages.txt The above command gave me a file which looked similar to the below...

So this particular NVIDIA driver version (580.119) is reported BROKEN by a lot of people on the Internet... including "by me" :cool: ! Here is my original posting to these Forums on this issue: (Link FreeBSD Forum): URGENT - NVIDIA - REL15.0: 580.119.02_1 of nvidia driver/drm61/kmod - ARE KNOWN...

If I understand correctly, you already lock the packages. I don't understand why you need to find another way to prevent the package from being upgrade which you already did. Enlighten me.

Well, I think that I've gotten to the bottom of this, and Black_N has hit the nail on the head. To begin with, as I was sitting at my desk spinning my wheels this afternoon, I suddenly remembered that I had an old hard drive in my closet, which had a duplicate installation of FreeBSD on it. I...

This might be related to the update of the nvidia-driver to version 595. This driver does not support GTX 10xx series graphics cards. I have a similar PC on which I previously simply installed: pkg install nvidia-driver (without specifying a version) Of course, when updating, it switched to a...
