Hello everybody,
I tried to install the latest Nvidia drivers from the official site which I then first downloaded, then unzipped and compiled.
Everything went ok they were also loaded in the xorg.conf file only I don't have the application with GUI nvidia-settings which from what I have read should be part of the drivers package.
In KDE I don't find it among the software.
I then installed an older version (nvidia-settings: 470.86) pre-compiled via pkg and it works, in fact it appears immediately among the installed software and when it is launched it also detects the latest version of the installed drivers.
However, I would have liked to use the same version of the installed drivers but I am sure I am doing something wrong and I am not looking in the right way.
I also tried to download only the bz2 package of the nvidia-settings I unzipped it but when I go to install it with gmake it gives me this error and I don't understand which libraries I want.
LINK _out / FreeBSD_amd64 / nvidia-settings.unstripped
ld: error: unable to find library -lXxf86vm
ld: error: unable to find library -lX11
ld: error: unable to find library -lXext
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
gmake: *** [Makefile: 306: _out / FreeBSD_amd64 / nvidia-settings.unstripped] Error 1
Thanks to everyone and sorry for the lack of clarity.
