Nvidia driver issue

I have a problem with my free bsd 13 installing the wrong vetsion of my Nvidia quattro K500 video card, install of the older version, which works. I even locked the older version of the Quattor K5000 version? ehy dors freebsf install a secondary video? I never asked for that? when does freebad stop doing that?
I get the message with dmesg | grep nvidia KLD nvidia + modeset.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch
can anyone help me?
I had the correct driver installef, the older version and freebsdbwants to install the new driver whicklh will not work with my older video card?
any help is appreicated
 
Don't hijack someone else's thread with an unrelated problem, post split off to its own thread. And for goodness sake use a spellchecker, your post is barely readable.

No?

I never asked for that?
Great.

when does freebad stop doing that?
Stop doing what?

I get the message with dmesg | grep nvidia KLD nvidia + modeset.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch
In your previous posts you had FreeBSD 12. After you upgraded from 12 to 13, did you reinstall all your ports/packages? I noticed in your previous posts that you locked the package, I'm betting it's still the package meant for FreeBSD 12. You need to install the FreeBSD 13 packages, including the NVidia driver.
 
I have an older Xeon based workstation with an nVidia Quadro K2000 and it works well with x11/nvidia-driver.

I load the driver via /etc/rc.conf:
Code:
kld_list="coretemp nvidia-modeset vmm if_bridge nmdm"
You obviously want to adapt that to your particular situation/system. Just make sure that you load the nvidia-modeset kernel module. Use kldstat to verify that the driver was loaded.

when I try to make install nvidia- driver I get make[1] stopped in /usr/ ports/x11/nvidia-driver]#
If you're compiling the port yourself (rather than just using the official package binaries via pkg install nvidia-driver) please provide the full compile log (do a clean build!).
I didn't experience any problems compiling that port so far.

because my older Nvidia Quatto K5000 video will not run the newer video video driver?
I don't really understand. My post you're replying to is literally stating the opposite. Check the link - nVidia officially supports the Quadro K5000 GPU in any of their current FreeBSD driver releases.
