Solved Nvidia: no screen found(EE)

Hi, I am using FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 (I just upgraded from 11.1).
My laptop is Dell Latitude 3550, with apparently two graphic cards:

Code: 
# pciconf -vl |grep -A4  vga
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x06321028 chip=0x16168086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'HD Graphics 5500'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
--
vgapci1@pci0:4:0:0:     class=0x030200 card=0x06321028 chip=0x134010de rev=0xa2 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
    device     = 'GM108M [GeForce 830M]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = 3D

This is my relevant xorg configuration:

Code: 
# cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Card0"
        Driver     "nvidia"
        #BusID    "PCI:0:4:0:0"
EndSection

This is my loader.conf:


Code: 
# cat /boot/loader.conf
loader_logo="beastie"
nvidia_load="YES"
if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm7265fw_load="YES"

And this is my rc.conf:

Code: 
# cat /etc/rc.conf
syslogd_flags="-ss"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
hostname="tulip"
keymap="it"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="NO"
gnome_enable="NO"
wlans_iwm0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
linux_enable="YES"
linux64_enable="YES"

When I manually run startx, I get this:

Code: 
[    33.507] (EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:

I both tried with nvidia-driver-390.77 and by manually compiling driver from sources, with no luck.

I have to say, I get same errors with 11.1

I read Thread 67179, and I ask confirm that basically I just need to wait.

Thank you!
 
You need to check whether it is possible to select the Nvidia card in your bios settings. If there is no such setting then forget about it. (Or search this forum for Optimus advice, I'm not going to repeat it.)
 
As shkhln mentioned, you might need to configure your BIOS to toggle which integrated graphics card is activated. However, looking over the specs of your laptop, it states that the graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 5500. I would suggest using this by default for Xorg. You should be able to load the drivers for it by adding one of the following to /boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
i915kms_load="YES"

Once you do that, you should remove /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf. Then, create the file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-intel.conf(Xorg loads the conf files in numerical order according to the filenames) and add the following (Change 10- to something else if it already exists in another filename):
Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Card0"
        Driver     "intel"
        BusID    "PCI:0:0:2:0"
EndSection
 
Hi,

this is now my /boot/loader.conf

Code: 
loader_logo="beastie"
if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm7265Dfw_load="YES"
i915kms_load="YES"

and this is my only file in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder:


Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Card0"
        Driver     "intel"
        BusID    "PCI:0:0:2:0"
EndSection

I got error:

Code: 
# grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

so, I installed xf86-video-intel, and now the (complete) error is still:

What could I try?
Thank you again!

You could try as was suggested -- check in BIOS, which card you want to use. Currently you configure your system to use your Intel, but from your log it would seem Intel is disabled in your hardware.
So work out that before trying anything else. Find it in your BIOS how you enable Intel instead of nVidia.
 
Hi, sorry for my delay. I checked on my BIOS, I confirm I have no option to select specific graphic adapter.
I understand that the only solution is to use drm-stable-kmod or drm-next-kmod.
According to Thread 64731, it seems I have two options right now:

1 - switch to STABLE
2 - wait until September 2018

correct? :)

Thank you
 
Hi shklhln, thank you, I just installed drm-next-kmod from ports (generally I use packages).
Driver compilation went fine; I added:

Code: 
kld_list="/boot/modules/i915kms.ko"

to rc.conf, and rebooted.

I noticed that module is correctly loaded:

Code:

but I still get same errors on /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
