Hello, I just installed FreeBSD using FreeBSD-14.3-STABLE-amd64-20250710-7a96c75098af-271907-memstick.img (because wifi did not work with FreeBSD-14.3-RELEASE) on a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 and I am failing to start gdm.
I followed the handbook to install Xorg, setup Nvidia drivers, and install...
Hello enthusiasts, I've been running Freebsd on an old machine for close to a year now with no issues. I got another machine with a somewhat old (GeForce MX110) graphics card and decided to run my main DE setup (bspwm/dwm).
Problem: startx runs as expected, nothing fishy in the logs. The screen...
Hello,
i am a Debian desktop user and have some FreeBSD servers. I would like to test FreeBSD as a desktop OS at my workstation but i can't enjoy my two monitors at the full resolution because something does not work properly. I have done some research on the internet and tried various...
Hello all! Apologies for making yet another nvidia driver issue post to add to the forums collection, but I am not sure what is going wrong and I have been at this for awhile now.
I don't believe the handbook covers my machine too well given my GPU situation, so I'd really appreciate the help...
Hi all
I installed FreebSD 14 on a HP-Z440 with an NVIDIA Quadro M4000.
GK Drivers work fine, and I can startx, and Xorg comes up.
When I exit Xorg by the Menu "Exit" it's freezing (and the Window Bars are gone too, see Pics):
Exit and then...
Xorg is frozen:
From here on, I only can...
Hey guys, I'm currently installing freebsd in a kvm virtual machine, with a gtx 980, however, I'm unable to get Xorg working as it errors with "no screens found (EE)" when i try startx.
Currently, I have done:
pkg install nvidia-driver
nano /etc/rc.conf

Hi mates!

Hi mates!
I'm using NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, connected to my 165 Hz main monitor via DisplayPort 1.4. I'm using Xorg as my window manager, KDE5 as the desktop environment.
If I open browser or another application, screen goes blank a few seconds maybe less.

I just reinstalled FreeBSD, installed the graphics drivers (pkg install nvidia-driver), xorg, kde5 and sddm.
upon initiating startx I was greeted with an error that said "cannot run in framebuffer mode".
I don't know what this error means, but I was instructed to add the following text to...
This one is driving me nuts. My HW:
Graphics card (bought new): ASUS GeForce GT 1030, low profile silent, GT1030-SL-2G-BRK, 2GB GDDR5, DVI, HDMI.
Monitor (two years old): BenQ EW3280U 3840x2160
Symptom: X starts, but results in a black screen, which puts monitor connected via HDMI in such a...
It feels it is kind of off topic, but did anyone tried the 13.0 BETA2 version?
Did anyone had an issue with Xorg, eg lets say completely freeze the system and need to poweroff the computer from its power button?
I read that there were some changes in the drivers section and the way they...
I have been running FreeBSD 13(the alpha version) and have successfully installed the xorg configurations for an nvidia gpu on a dual screen.
one of the kernel objects that I needed to config the gpu was the nvidia.ko and nvidia-modeset.ko.
Yesterday I updated some packages automatically with...
I am using Freebsd 12.2-RELEASE -p2
If I try to use the nvidia driver, I get a black screen and my mouse is completely unresponsive. I have to kill the Xorg process to get back to console.
This is a dual GPU laptop, so I understand it does not have the best support (when TrueOS was based on BSD...
Hello everyone,
I'm running FreeBSD 12.1-p2 on an old Dell XPS M1330 laptop.
The video card is an old nVidia GeForce 8400M GS, and everything use to work fine with driver "nvidia-driver-304-304.137_6".
A few days ago I installed the latest system updates, and now X.org stopped working.

Hello all,
Apologies for the long post. But I wanted to provide enough detail on the problem I'm facing as well as everything I've tried so far to resolve it.
The Problem
I used to have a desktop built around a Gigabyte Z170X-SOC FORCE motherboard and a Core i7-6700K processor. Back when I...
Hello,
Some month ago : https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/gnome-3-black-screen-on-freebsd.69618/#post-417516
I decide to switch linux-c7.
In this case, I install Linux c7 with base and some other packages.
And remove linux-c6.
In next step, I again install nvidia- driver-390.87_2.

When I run X (as of now I use startx, but I think the same happened when using xdm) and switch to another TTY using Ctrl+Alt+F3 for example, I get a screen with a bunch of colourful (red, green, blue) lines on a black background and that's it. I can normally switch back to the TTY with the X...
