kldstatus shows:
Nvidia.so

installed kde5
added

Code:

hald_enable="Yes"

startx exits with a XORG error....

So, very nice log file. Let's see what my cristal ball tells me. You have a nvidia GPU but have not the correct Xorg driver?

yuripv79 · Apr 25, 2023

See 5.4.3 (nvidia part) in https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/#x-config.

I presume this is just a typo, but keep in mind that Unix(-like) systems are case-sensitive. So Nvidia is not the same as nvidia.

micha01 · Apr 25, 2023

Well I added now 20-nvidia.conf and 10-monitor.conf
It is keep on saying unable to open display....

How do relate the
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card0"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    BusID     "pci0:2:0:0"
EndSection

/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

Code:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Card0"
    SubSection "Display"
    Modes      "1024x768"

Please post the output of pciconf -lv|grep -B4 VGA

And make sure all your packages are up to date (pkg-upgrade(8)), the error seems to indicate a discrepancy in versions.
