Hello everyone, I have an Nvidia GeForce 1050Ti. How can I install it on FREEBSD 14.1 I try, but I get a panic when restarting.

pkg install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig

kld_list="nvidia" ---> not working
kld_list="nvidia-modeset" ---> not working
nvidia nvidia-modeset_load="YES" on loader.conf ---> panic on boot
 
My card is supported as nvidia-driver, but I can't get it to work. However, if I install nvidia-driver-470, it works...
 
You could try to add both, "nvidia" and "nvidia-modeset" to kld_list. At least this works for me, in that order. Adding to loader the newest version of the driver shouldn't work, because the driver is too big for the loader, that cause the crash.
 
The GTX 1050Ti should be supported by the latest version, x11/nvidia-driver.

Driver Details | NVIDIA

Download the <dd~LanguageName> <dd~Name> for <dd~OSName> systems. Released <dd~ReleaseDateTime>
www.nvidia.com

Then put nvidia-modeset in kld_list (that's the only one that would be needed).

Add a /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-driver.conf:
Code: 
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Nvidia"
  Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Xorg will not automagically detect the NVidia driver, so you will need to tell it to load.

When I use startx the error message displays “Device” is not a valid keyword

“Device” is not a valid keyword in this section - any help is appreciated. That is the message when I load nvidia-driver.conf in the /user/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. pciconf -vl shows NVIDIA Corporation GP108 [GT 1030].
 
It was copy/pasted from a working configuration. You probably did something wrong.
