Especially if NVIDIA GPU is in use. Unfortunately, official builders for FreeBSD-ports-kmods repo doesn't build NVIDIA related kmods other than x11/nvidia-kmod. If you're OK with X11 (maybe regardless with xorg or xlibre) only and old-school drivers alone is fine (not requiring...

JamesElstone For gpu-firmware there should be no issue with the files being for the original 15 version (or 14), they are binary files copied from the linux drm kernel repo. What you have to make sure is that you don't mix versions on /boot/modules. So remove any existing gpu-firmware...

So you have a Raphael (Ryzen 7xxx igpu) or Granite Ridge (Ryzen 9xxx igpu) integrated card. You are not the first to have to disable integrated cards to get a working system (intel igpu + nvidia dgpu have the same behavior), so I'm leaning to issues with the FreeBSD port of drm and...

drhowarddrfine points you to the link for upgrading the system. The Nvidia card will depend upon a few things. Assuming you have packages set to latest, or even if you don't. Firstly, if you have ZFS (I know you said no guessing, but you aren't giving us some needed info, so we have to)...

Some of this is still just a little bit over my head, so I will have to read through it more carefully over the weekend. But at any rate, it sounds like I can get by using the driver that I'm now using, for at least a little white into the future?

I have the GP108 (GeForce GT1030). If you look at /usr/ports/UPDATING the 20260327 entry gives a link to supported chips at https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/595.58.03/README/supportedchips.html. If you look for the 1030 there, and then scroll up, you'll see it's in the...

Currently, both latest (aka main) branch and quarterly (recently 2026Q3 is branched from latest) has 580.173.02 for *-580 legacy variants. If you want Wayland to work, installing graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod-580 should pull in minimal related ports / pkgs that fits your base FreeBSD. To know what...

To begin with, I'm not certain if my Nvidia GT 1030 is considered to be an obsolete card or not, but I do know that the drivers for it have given me a lot of fun in the past, and I now wish to head off any potential fun (black screens) that maybe heading my way in the near future. To begin...

I've got this reply from T-Aoki on the #Fediverse: I think I'll wait another month... 🤔

I have been upgrading my systems in my homelab from 15.0-RELEASE 15.1-RELEASE-p1. Everything worked great...Except my laptop, a Thinkpad W520, which uses the drm-66-kmod module. Everything else either uses nvidia or no graphics driver at all on the servers. I go through the upgrade steps, and...

The developer of the desktop support functionality uses fwget to figure out whether or not it's possible to load drm-kmod and which firmware is needed (though there is still work needed on this). For nvidia he's created a map with the pci-ids (plus subsystem and vendor ids) on nvidia's...

I do not have a tested NVIDIA-specific write-up from this machine, because my setup was done on Intel and AMD graphics hardware. NVIDIA on FreeBSD is a different path: it normally uses NVIDIA's proprietary driver, not the drm-kmod setup used for Intel i915kms or AMD amdgpu. For a modern NVIDIA...

I have upgraded the main system to 15.1-RELEASE, and running # kldload nvidia-modeset mannually on TTY is fine. As for nvidia-kmod, ~> pkg info | rg nvidia nvidia-driver-580-580.159.04 NVIDIA graphics driver userland nvidia-kmod-580-580.159.04.1500068 NVIDIA graphics driver kernel module...

This would be my last follow-up unless you upgrade your FreeBSD to any of supported versions. And the comments below is for up-to-date ports tree, not at the moment 11.2-RELEASE was still supported. The message suggests that nvidia-modeset.ko is NOT found, usually means that x11/nvidia-kmod (or...

This note summarizes the main settings and commands used during the setup. Device names can differ between machines, so always check the actual hardware first: pciconf -lv ifconfig cat /dev/sndstat ls /dev/backlight/ sysctl -a | grep -i light dmesg | tail...

Note that API (Application Programming Interface), ABI (Application Binary Interface) / KPI (Kernel Programming Interface) are "basically" kept backward compatible within single major version (i.e., 14 and 15), thus, "basically" no worries on upgrading to newer minor version of the same major...

I do an automated source build with DESTDIR set to a mounted BE. I have been thinking of including an automatic update of just the kmod packages, and was wondering whether -c $DESTDIR would suffice or whether it was necessary to set ABI and OSVERSION. FWIW I don't take any special precautions...

I see now. This config causes loading of nvidia_drv.so, which means that nvidia-driver is indeed a required runtime dependency. What use does DRM have without DRI (which is the case for nvidia-drm, if I understand it correctly)? I doubt you can use nvidia-drm in headless scenarios, but even if...

Actual DRM/KMS (additional) kmod ports, graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|612|latest}-kmod{-580|-devel} are basically for adding hybrid graphics (aka Optimus) support. This is because recent iGPUs want DRM/KMS to work, so running NVIDIA dGPUs with iGPUs without using tricky way using OSMESA...

Keep in mind, nvidia.ko is from x11/nvidia-kmod, not from x11/nvidia-driver. So nvidia-driver is needed for Xorg, not for a drm. Anybody can install nvidia-driver by hands. Or without breaking anything it can be an optional dependency in nvidia-drm-kmod, like: OPTIONS_DEFINE= RUNTIME...
