Hi guys, I've one new problem with my PC. I've installed FreeBSD, created my user, installed Gnome, Xorg, NVidia's driver, GDM. After I've edited /etc/rc.conf. But after reboot I've this screen hosting immagini

I can not get into TTY with the key combination

Some more info, would be helpful:
FreeBSD version
nvidia-driver version ?
nvidia HW model ?
uefi boot or not ?
have you run nvidia-xconfig ?
which nvidia module(s) have you loaded ?
 
Of course, I've installed FreeBSD 11, nvidia-driver 367 (I've Nvidia GeForce GT 730), UEFI boot (with rEFInd). I've launched nvidia-config.

Use nvidia-modeset_load="YES" instead of nvidia_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf.
 
Ok, I've "resolved" my problem, but gdm doesn't go and if I tried startx I had error nvidia kernel support. I tried with nvidia-driver and nvidia-driver-340
 
Look in /var/log/messages, did the kernel module load correctly?

Try it by hand: kldload nvidia-modeset
 
The latest drivers from NVidia have split up a few things. Older cards can still use nvidia, newer cards may require nvidia-modeset instead. If you get an image like the picture in the first post you'll need nvidia-modeset.

More importantly, you shouldn't get an error message when loading the kernel module, it doesn't matter which one, both should load without errors.
 
i didn't load nvidia-modeset because not found. This is my log.

I can login if I connected as root with startx
 
No, the Nouveau driver doesn't exist, it was removed quite some time ago. It was really bad and had zero support for FreeBSD.

nvidia-modeset should work though:
Code: 
dice@williscorto:~> kldstat | grep nvidia
 4    1 0xffffffff81cc0000 10c210   nvidia-modeset.ko
 7    2 0xffffffff81e70000 f57558   nvidia.ko
Old log entry but it should look something like this:
Code:

It might take a bit of fiddling but I'm sure we can get you up and running.
 
How can I move one file downloaded with linux on my freebsd? I mounted freebsd partition but it is only read
 
Don't know about Linux's UFS support, the other way around might be easier to do (mount the Linux partition from FreeBSD to copy the file).
