Can't use nvidia driver , error "No screens found".

[Alain De Vos]

I have an MSI motherboard, but have problems entering to bios. Nothing seems to work.
Not even F2,F10,ESC.

How about F1 or DEL?

The problem is
-Driver "vesa" does not work
-Driver "nvidia" does not work
Only no Driver line works. But only with one monitor.

If you want to try with no accelration driver do not use the vesa driver that is almost obsolete. try "fbdev" driver instead.

Driver fbdev didn't worked.

What is the exact type of your motherboard?
What does the manual say?

There's not x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev, so fbdev shouldn't work.
And if you want to use x11-driver/xf86-video-vesa (for legacy BIOS boot) or x11-driver/xf86-video-scfb (for UEFI boot), maybe you need to connect your monitor to on-board video connector instead of one on RTX 2060 card.

Ah, forgot to confirm.
If your keyboard is connected via BlueTooth, usually you cannot enter to BIOS. You need wired keyboard or non-BlueTooth wireless keyboard that the dongle is recognized as USB keyboard.

are you using the drivers provided by Nvidia? https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/
I have recently discovered that they provide .tar.xz downloads for FreeBSDx64

The search result would be in somewhere defined here and x11/nvidia-driver specifies the group NVIDIA there.

okay but the driver version mentioned in the post is 570 and the latest at the Nvidia site is 575. Sometimes drivers contain fixes for known issues and the latest versions are necessary.

You should see here instead of the search page.
As you can see, 575 series of drivers are still Beta or New Feature Branch (NFB), while 570 series are Production Branch.
And if you want to try NFB, you can use x11/nvidia-driver-devel. Beta would not tracked, but is the trigger to investigate for upcoming NFB or Production drivers.
