Hello!

I am new to FreeBSD and was trying to get DWM install and to do that I need to get xorg up and running.. I am getting this error every time I run startx; I have a Nvidia graphics card and believe i followed the FreeBSD xorg instructions correctly.. side note my monitor is actually randomly blinks too on and off. Any help? Cheers i’ll owe you a beer!

Which one? If it's a fairly recent model, install x11/nvidia-driver. And load the kernel module: sysrc kld_list+="nvidia-modeset"

Add a /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-driver.conf:
Code: 
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Nvidia"
  Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

Then run startx to test it. If it still doesn't work, upload your Xorg.0.log: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999
 
Hello the Graphics card is GeForce GTX 970, Intel i7-6700 @ 3.40GHZ, 16 ram. I did PKG install X11/nvidia-driver which I already had so it just updated. After doing that I followed your instructions and added the nvidia config file. This still gives me a different error “Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).


Thank you in advance for the help. I am new to this FreeBSD stuff I really appreciate it!
 
Not sure if this is the cause but you haven't installed any patches yet. Run freebsd-update fetch install to update the OS.

append in your /usr/local/bin/startx
Code: 
defaultserverargs="-ignoreABI"

No need for ignoreABI because his graphics/driver is not that old.

Anyway, scfb is not the driver you should be loading, can you post your xorg.conf? You can can use nvidia-xconfig for generating xorg config, never failed me before.

Hello Everyone,

I managed to figure out how to fix the problem, I just needed restart my machine after applying the advice from SirDice. Thank you everyone for replying to my thread adding suggestions!
