    Never one to not spam, I'll mention my own page on Nvidia, . Though it may seem a frequent problem on these forums, the solution is usually the same one. https://srobb.net/fbsdnvidia.html

    Yes the issue now is that Wayland depends on DRM ,

    >90% of all those problems are regarding the linux-derived drivers requiring the drm abstaction layer. Just use the native nvidia driver (x11/nvidia-driver-NNN) - they have been working perfectly fine for a very long time (>15 years for me).

    the top issue right now is not the Nvidia Drivers, the issue is that the Freebsd 15 Kmod repo is for 15.0 and there is no kmod repo fro 15.1. that renders the graphic drivers in the 15.0 kmod repo unsuitable/unusable for a 15.1 installation. The solution is to...

    Why is nVidia So Problematic?

    I like to add, by my experience in the last ~5 years NVIDIA causes less problems than AMD cards. When I assembled my new desktop computer I had to replace the AMD based card because of not being supported at all, by a NVIDIA one which works. I didn't checked recently if this is still the case...

    Why is nVidia So Problematic?

    As a ‘nix noob I see a lot of chatter about endless problems with Nvidia and CUDA on all ‘nix platforms. nVidia is not a minor nor 2nd tier player. I’m surprised at this. Details?

    OpenBOX Openbox: let rc.xml program execution settings be the same as the X.org root screen

    Solved FreeBSD and GeForce RTX 3060 - a fickle thing?

    ...generation of architectures have different story. For any GPUs supported by 580 series of drivers can be driven via DRM/KMS drivers (any of graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod-580), too, but 304, 340, 390 and 470 are NOT supported via DRM/KMS interface. So need to configure manually in old-school way.

    ...users every day on discord that try to use 15.1 with the REPOS for binary updates to KMODs both for Intel ( i915) and Nvidia DRM. The cause of the failure is that the REPOS online is for FreeBSD 15.0 . Freebsd 15.1 is setup to use DRM-6.12 , the online REPOS have...

    Solved FreeBSD and GeForce RTX 3060 - a fickle thing?

    Note that default for 15.1-RELEASE is 612. I think pkg attempt to remove graphics/drm-61-kmod and graphics/nvidia-drm-61-kmod (for 14.x) and install graphics/drm-612-kmod and graphics/nvidia-drm-612-kmod instead, but as I've already noted many times, currently pkg for...

    15.1-release. Didn't build anything just did pkg update && pkg upgrade until there were no more upgrades. All versions were the same when I did pkg info | grep nvidia. Since I follow the handbook there was no number on the drm. Simply nvidia-drm-kmod. /grandpa

    14.5 will be released soon. And this story will continue with 14.4 packages vs 14.5 kmods, unfortunately. Although I don't think LinuxKPI changed much on 14.

    Solved FreeBSD and GeForce RTX 3060 - a fickle thing?

    Which 15-RELEASE? 15.0-RELEASE? Or 15.1-RELEASE? This question is the prerequisite to answer. If 15.1 and you're using graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod, have you rebuilt at least graphics/drm-*-kmod, graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod ("*" would be 61 for 14.*, 66 for 15.0 and 612 for 15.1 and later by...
