Hello, Previously I tried to use Ollama on FreeBSD with my Nvidia GPU and it did not work, it uses CPU only, on the host or in a jail. Recently I have been using llama.cpp (version 8182, 28 Feb 2026) in a jail with Nvidia GPU support without issue, I will dump some notes for experienced users...

First I did a fresh installation of FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE. Had that issue. also, whenever I type in terminal, the typed character isnt displayed until I type some other character, or resize the terminal window. I made a lot of changes in various files, didnt fix the issue. Then I asked chatgpt...

Hi I'm a newbie to FreeBSD and I have an old laptop with intel 4600hd and nvidia gtx 765M (should work with nvidia 470 driver) I tried to do some research but most methods uses nvidia-drm-kmod (which doesn't seem to be available for legacy drivers) or using nvidia-hybrid-graphics which is...

NOTE: This may be related to this post, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about the subject to be sure. I am wondering if someone could help me. I am using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 on FreeBSD 15-RELEASE, running Xorg (not Wayland yet). I usually keep my graphics driver packages locked as, in...

I think that the open-source Linux driver should be ported to BSD. I know that T-Aoki said that they do not have a Turing GPU, but they are readily available on Ebay, and I think plenty of people would gladly donate an old Turing GPU if it means better NVidia support. Does anyone want to port...

Good morning FreeBSD community! I am traditionally a Linux user and moved to FreeBSD a little more than a year, and man.... I loved it! It is some of those moments we say "how have a lived until now without it?". But it is with broken heart that I am planning to move back to Linux as I...

I installed 14.3 on my y500 with nvidia geforce gt 750. After installation: Reboot and kernel panic. I see the trailing messages - it's surely nvidia related. Prior to all of this, I did: bectl create baseline so that I can select the baseline boot environment and get it working again, but I...

Every so often I here crackling during sound playback. It could happen while watching YouTube in Firefox or playing a video or audio file with mpv. "Did I hear something in the music track? Perhaps, the rip had a mistake or the CD has a scratch." I have tried to localize this issue for quite...
