Each time I'm trying subtlety on the interwebs, it gets completely glossed over.460 -> 465 update doesn't involve any substantial patch changes
Ah, sorry I managed to missed that.and I did post the nvidia-modeset-freebsd.c.rej above,
How do you update the ports tree?(btw running "git status" inside /usr/ports failed since it wasnt git repository)
Unbreak nVidia driver build against new feature branch 465.xx, which
now includes Vulkan driver for FreeBSD.
We do not offer short-lived/beta driver versions as a port or package,
but we try to support building against arbitrary DISTVERSIONs. Add a
note about it and sort Linux libraries' port pkg-plist while I'm here.

How do you update the ports tree?
So, you didn't update the ports tree. Run portsnap(8).I just happen to have /usr/ports, it was already there.. no?
basically I did mark "ports" checkmark in installer during FreeBSD13.0 install.
To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel
module, by running
# kldload nvidia (or nvidia-modeset, see below)
on the command line, or by putting ``nvidia'' (or ``nvidia-modeset'',
see below again) on ``kld_list'' variable in /etc/rc.conf, either manually
or by running
# sysrc kld_list+=nvidia
desktop, 6 core 4GHz cpu, 16GB DDR4, no integrated graphics, RTX2080 Nvidia GPUOk, so why do you need this particular version of the driver ?
Did you follow the instruction given when installing the driver ?
And finally what is your hardware ? ( Desktop, laptop, which graphics cards, is there an integrated graphics ? )
does your handbook method gets me 465.27? apparently not, because pkg install method gets me version 460 driver. if that would be the case I'd just follow that and NOT create this thread.I'll repeat what I said earlier. If you followed the Handbook you would never have needed to start this thread in the first place. Right now you're just wingin' it. Throwing things against the wall to see what sticks.
