so i have questions about my nvidia driver install

L

lizzias

i installed nvidia driver and so then i followed all the instructions i found online from freebsd as well as the ones that appeared after the install.

but then i ran inxi to look at my system and under graphics i see the following

Code: 
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER] driver: vgapci
    bus-ID: 0:1:0.0

  Display: server: X.Org 1.21.1.13 driver: loaded: nvidia
    resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz

  OpenGL: renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2
    v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 550.54.14 direct render: Yes

can someone tell me please, in that first section under graphics it shows my 1660 super graphics card but then it shows the driver as vgapci and i am wondering iof that vgapci is the correct driver for my card or if it should be a nvidia driver instead there. Kinda new to freebsd and just am not sure about that. i can se the display server is clearly using the nvidia driver and that open gl is using nvidia also.
 
...never heard of any inxi...

is not the driver but simply the graphics card bus, on which your graphics adapter seems to be detected correctly.

That's the driver module loaded.
Also looks correct to me.
To ensure which, or if any ("driver") module is loaded to the kernel you may do a kldstat (as root).
In that list you get in the shell also check if there is a nvidia-modeset.ko also loaded - but I bet it is.

Even OpenGL seems to work fine.

You do have a running X-server, right? Using a desktop-environment (KDE, Gnome, xfce, lxde, or whatever you're using at the moment), right?
Then everything is okay to me.
Enjoy!
 
never heard of inxi? run it as root

inxi -Fxzmc31

and watch the magic happen! All kinds of neat system info. If it's not installed on your system

# pkg install inxi

you will not be disappointed
