I have added a graphics card to the new pc build Its not a new card. I downloaded pkg install drm-kmod added nvidia_load="YES" Still no luck. I have kde5 installed with xorg. Some advice is welcome.
 
dumb question i know ? How do I remove a an installed driver. Yes I understand x11/nvidia-driver I did see that in a post.
 
Hello Sir Dice.
Just looked at the graphics card I am using it is not an nvidia card bur theSP#-41H-c shows as a radeon not nvidia.
 
hello once again. I have worked out the graphics card
kld-list="amdgpu"
kld_list="/boot/modules/radeonkms.ko"
pkg install xf86-video-amdgpu
This work with startx in root

This doesn't make sense. It's not kld-list but kld_list.

And you don't need the full path and the .ko extension:
kld_list (str) A whitespace-separated list of kernel modules to load
right after the local disks are mounted, without any .ko ex-
tension or path. Loading modules at this point in the boot
process is much faster than doing it via /boot/loader.conf
for those modules not necessary for mounting local disks.

rc.conf(5)

So just
kld_list="radeonkms"

Never start X as root. It's a security risk.
 
yes i have worked that out. I set up /etc/rc.conf and logged in as user
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
kdm4_enable="YES"
sddm_enable="YES"
