Hello forum, long time no see.
Glad to be back.
I got a T490 recently that have a nvidia MX250. Installation went fine beside a bug that I will cover in another post, because it is not related to this problem.
After install the base OS I installed X, xfce, lightdm and the kernel modules for the intel and nvdia gpu's. that also worked just fine.
When everything that I need was installed, I started to change the config files according to my backups. Long story short, I did something wrong and now my DE is broke. nothing happens after boot, just a black screen with moused in the middle. lightdm don't appear anymore and I can't start X in a TTY.
My config file:
/boot/loader.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf
/etc/rc.conf
