Double gpu laptop xorg configuration problem

Someone

Someone

I have a double gpu laptop (with intel UHD 630 and Nvidia GTX 1050 ti mobile). Modules i915.ko, nvidia.ko, nvidia-modeset.ko, nvidia-drm.ko load normally (seen with kldstat).
I go and create config file
Code: 
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-drivers.conf
as instructed my handbook


Code: 
#Intel onboard and Nvidia Gpu config file for X11
Section "Device"
         Identifier "intel"
         BusID      "pci0:0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier "nvidia-modeset"
        BusID      "pci0:1:0:0"
EndSection

/var/log/Xorg.0.log shows that /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is used for configuration, and that intel and nvidia modules cant be loaded because they werent found.

If i remove /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-drivers.conf file startx works and xfce4 is started.

I have checked the pci adresses with
Code: 
pciconf -lv | grep -B4 display
and they are correct. Any ideas about what is wrong with my 20-drivers.conf file? Thanks

Unfortunately the Handbook is wrong wrt the Xorg nvidia driver configuration; see message #13 and follow up message #15. Detailed info is below the horizontal divider: here. The version mismatch may be affecting you also when using quarterly packages: look above the horizontal divider.*

In short, in your Xorg configuration setting for the nvidia driver, use:
Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier "GTX-1050"
        Driver     "nvidia"
        BusID      "pci0:1:0:0"
EndSection

The intel driver for Xorg is a legacy driver, with your intel UHD 630 graphics, try:
Code: 
Section "Device"
         Identifier "UHD-630"
         Driver     "modesetting"
         BusID      "pci0:0:2:0"
EndSection
This is the modesetting(4) driver.

Have tried to
Code: 
 kldunload i915kms
, screen went blank and system freezed. var/crash/vmcore.0 shows:
Code: 
 [drm ERROR :nv_drm_init] [nvidia-drm] Version mismatch: nvidia-modeset.ko(580.105.108) nvidia-drm.ko(580.95.05)

How cure this mismatch?

In an ideal FreeBSD world you should be able to do a clean kldunload of a kernel module; unfortunately, as is often the case with complex and/or several chain-loaded kernel modules, they cannot be kldunload-ed safely. To get this done properly, change your config settings and reboot. If you have set the correct kernel modules and of the correct version in your configuration file(s), they should be kldload-ed automatically up boot. If you have disabled them to be loaded automatically you can kldload them explicitly manually.

Perhaps, have a look at my message above the horizontal divider?

I may be mistaken, but I had a similar situation when updating (20251109) and received:

I deleted:

You should not use pkgs targeted 1403000 on FreeBSD 15, it will eventually break.
I strongly suggest ports or pkg -r 😄

Black_N, from your message, I'm not sure if you are running 14.3-RELEASE or 15.0-RELEASE.

  1. The version mismatch between 580.95.05 and 580.105.08
  2. Having (leftover) packages on 15.0-RELEASE tagged 1403000
are two separate issues. However, they both can affect the use of correctly versioned packages.

If you have one such leftover package tagged 1403000 on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, you'll likely have more. These are unusually hard to get rid of using the normally expected use of pkg-upgrade(8). For these leftover pcakages, see this thread (especially the messages near the end) pkg refuses to upgrade firmware packages to 15 version and how to get rid of them.

Sorry, I don't use 15.0-RELEASE. I described how I solved a similar problem for:
Code: 
# freebsd-version -kru
14.3-RELEASE-p7
14.3-RELEASE-p7
14.3-RELEASE-p7
I admit, my mistake. I am sorry.

But if pkg nvidia-kmod-580.95.05 is available for FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, you can also try installing it before installing pkg nvidia-driver-580.95.05.
