Kernel Module 15.0 Install

R

rpowell47

I've downloaded and burned an ISO image of 15.0 and after the install , I receive the following ERROR when using the startx command:
Code: 
NVRM: API mismatch: the client 'Xorg" (pid 3591)
NVRM: has the version 580.95.95, but this kernel module has
NVRM: the version 580.105.08. Please make sure that this 
NVRM: kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components 
NVRM: have the same version.
I would appreciate any help in how to carry out the issue of changing the kernel module. I used pkg install nvidia-driver and then in the /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d file by ee nvidia-driver and placed in that file the following:
Code: 
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Card0"
   Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Are you installing them with pkg?
If so, try deinstalling and install again with restricting repo.

For 15.0, there are 3 repos. One for pkgbase (FreeBSD-base), one for pkg from ports dedicated for kernel modules (FreeBSD-ports-kmods) and for pkg from ports all allowed ones including kernel modules (FreeBSD-ports).
pkg install -r FreeBSD-ports x11/nvidia-driver
could help.

While multiple minor releases are supported for single major release (i.e., 14.3 and 14.2 until the end of September), newer release needs kmods repo, but there can be risks of mis-matching versions, due to...
 
I carried out SirDice's suggestion. But, since I am not able to actually use 15.0, I have to shutdown my 14.3 BSD, then unplug that SSD card and plug in and start the 15.0 SSD card. So, here is what received when I was back to the 15.0 install:
Updtating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue...
FreeBSD-ports repository is up to date
Checking integrity . . . done (0 conflicting)

This is relevant:
Rich (BB code): 
[0-0] #  pkg which /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
/boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko was installed by package nvidia-kmod-580.105.08.1500068
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so was installed by package nvidia-driver-580.95.05
[1-0] #
These two need to be of the same version.
nvidia-modeset.ko is referenced by kld_list="nvidia-modeset" in /etc/rc.conf
nvidia-driver.so is referenced by
Rich (BB code): 
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Card0"
   Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
in an appropriate Xorg .conf file.

This may help.
 
Well, by getting the nvida-driver and the same nvidia-kmod the same, I now have mate opening!! BUT, now no mouse??

I’ve added ‘’moused_enable=“YES’ to rc.conf with no luck and added to sysctl.conf “kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12 - again no mouse. So I shut down 15.0 and tried 14.3 and the mouse works just fine! Again any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Also, when I carry out “pciconf -vl” the mouse is not listed? It’s a new Logitech wireless mouse.
