Hi,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad P71 with an Intel HD Graphics P630 and an NVIDIA Quadro P5000 graphics adapter.
When I have Hybrid Graphics enabled in the BIOS, GDM starts without problems with the graphics/drm-next-kmod Intel driver (well, it complains about GLX but that is most probably because X is trying to use the NVIDIA GLX library) and I see something on the screen. Starting GDM with the NVIDIA driver (latest version 390.87) does not work of course as the Intel GPU is controlling the display and the NVIDIA driver is complaining about not being able to connect to any display. So far so good.
When I switch to Discrete Graphics in the BIOS (switching off the Intel graphics adapter), GDM seems to start on the Quadro but I get a black screen. If I wait 10 minutes until the screen shuts off and I switch it on again by pressing a key or touching the touchpad, I see the X mouse cursor and can also move it but the rest of the screen is still black.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log is not looking too bad; I see some suspicious error messages about Clutter in /var/log/gdm/:0.log though (see attached files). I also attached my /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf and the dmesg output. Everything was compiled from ports and I enabled Wayland if there was the option.
I am running FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, if I get the NVIDIA driver to work I am considering using VirtualGL as described here.
Regards
Thomas
