Hi guys.
I don't get the NVIDIA driver for my laptop up and running.
The box has a Intel HD 620 onboard chip and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 940MX.
With Intel driver installed and without any xorg config file, x runs just great, but only with the Intel chip. So now I try to get the NVIDIA stuff up and running (as I bought the box, the NVIDIA driver in FreeBSD didn't support the 940MX).
I tried to compile the x11/nvidia-driver, but I had some issues with finding the kernel source.... maybe now I know, where my problem was, but didn't test it so far. Finally I installed the x11/nvidia-driver as pkg. The version supports my graphic chip, although it is not the most current nvidia driver version. Oh, I am running FreeBSD 11.2, the system is updated using freebsd-update, so it should have the latest versions running (except for the nvidia driver, as it seems).
To get the nvidia-driver running I have in rc.conf
my /boot/loader.conf
and finally the /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf
If I boot the system I get a message like
the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
As you can see, it tries to load the NVIDIA driver, but still has the Intel Card (PCI:0:0:2:0) as active card -> thus the BusID line in the xorg config file.
Somewhere I read something about missing configuration in /etc/devd.conf, but with no further hint. And I read many posts about similar issues, such as x-doesnt-start-nvidia-940gx
Can anyone give me some advice how to get the NVIDIA stuff up and running?

As you can see, it tries to load the NVIDIA driver, but still has the Intel Card (PCI:0:0:2:0) as active card -> thus the BusID line in the xorg config file.
Somewhere I read something about missing configuration in /etc/devd.conf, but with no further hint. And I read many posts about similar issues, such as x-doesnt-start-nvidia-940gx
Can anyone give me some advice how to get the NVIDIA stuff up and running?
