This is probably going to be an easy fix, depending on what's in egrep '(WW|EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I'm not sure, but should I try Xorg -configure ?

It may have already tried that, but go for it

Then move it to /usr/local/etc/X11

it failed but the driver seems to be correctly loaded at least.

Maybe kldload nvidia?

/me has no idea what to do with an nvidia gpu

Maybe kldload nvidia?

I wrote nvidia_enable="YES" in the loader.conf

And kldstat confirms it

I wrote nvidia_enable="YES" in the loader.conf

That only loads it before the kernel gets booted

That only loads it before the kernel gets booted

Kldstat shows a nvidia.ko in the list

Welp. I don't know what to do then. Might be worth jumping in the ghostbsd forums or irc

;_;

Any chance to get the old Xorg conf back?

From what I've seen it wasn't overwritten

Just generated a .new file in /root/

Just generated a .new file in /root/

Hm...

So if I copy that .new replacing the current .conf should work

Also, no .conf in root's home dir

Maybe

Wait

Also, no .conf in root's home dir

Right, should be in /usr/local/etc/X11, not /etc/X11 like nvidia seems to think

There are couples of .conf in X11 folder

I think the .orig is what I'm looking for

That's the new way, nvidia just generates a single xorg.conf because reasons I guess.

Well that shouldn't be there... but I guess it'll work just the same

Well that shouldn't be there... but I guess it'll work just the same

I had the same issue on linux but it was just a matter of nvidia writing a file where it shouldn't

This is interesting

https://thelinuxexperiment.com/getting-freebsd-up-and-running-with-x-org-and-nvidia-drivers/

Looks like my same issue

...and it wants me to compile the driver T_T

Changing driver from nv to nvidia seems to have changed something

Looks like this time the nvidia driver was called by xorg but X failed to start for some reason

Huh, try kldunload drm2 and starting X again, I remember fixing a problem like that a while back.

Ok

Device busy

I don't know how but now Xorg works after changing driver of the second Card from "modeset" to "intel"

It's downheartening how nvidia-conf is dangerous

Weird.

/me is just going to keep using AMD cards

What has happened to my xfce o.o

You didn't startx as root did you?

I just rebooted

So can't understand why

Looks like the xorg.conf automagically resetted its driver to nvidia overriding my setting to vesa

...I guess I'll be better building the driver on my own.

Yeah.. no idea what's going on there, maybe @ericbsd can shed some light on the situation when he's free

I sincerly just think nvidia-xconfig should never be used

Also the lack of documentation about nvidia config does not help

I hoped the warnings after pkg install would have just fixed the issue

Oh well. Proprietery drivers coming

Also the problem seems to be related to freebsd too, there are lots of threads in their forums about X issues with nvidia.

The same is true with pretty much every linux distro though, GPU's just aren't always easy to work with.

I also suspect nvidia developers use some old linux environment for testing, not sure about bsd.

for example, Xorg.conf path hardcoded into the nvidia's makefile is wrong and should not be placed there (I had a discussion about this in the Manjaro forums)

I think I almost did it

I removed the old drivers, rebuilt the new with "make install clean" then added the modules following https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/58161/ the steps wrote by free-and-bsd, now I get a blank X screen because the driver does not detect my monitor. According to https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/55880/ , it appears that there are multiple xorg.conf around the system that spoil the detection process

Ok, now the monitor is detected but the driver sets "metamode" to null

Stupid try, but since I'm a linux user, I recall "bumblebee" solved this sort of things

Which obviously doesn't exist on freebsd, yay.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/314951/pkg-upgrade-broke-x-server-on-freebsd-ii-nvidia0-validated-metamodes-nul

Looks like I didn't read this warning.

...no luck.

IT WORKS!

Ok, here what I have done so far: 1. Built & installed the driver with make install clean 2. Since version 385.something NVIDIA added the module "nvidia-modeset" as helper for the engine of the "nvidia.ko". If I get MetaMode set to NULL then I have to edit /boot/loader.conf replacing "nvidia_load" with "nvidia-modeset" and every other occurrences of "nvidia" with "nvidia-modeset". Edited rc.conf accordingly (allowing for the linux compatibility layers to be loaded) 3. I obviously also need to change the driver of my card in the Xorg.conf from "nvidia" to "nvidia-modeset" The current config seems to load the module but the GLX extesion doesn't work :( I'm posting a thread in the forums.

I usually just need to install Nvidia-xconfig, then run Nvidia-xconfig. Of course, this is after putting the nvidia_load in the loader.conf and kldload Nvidia. Starting the dbus service helps, sometimes.

Berkeley Software Distribution posted a new article: DragonFlyBSD Now Supports Up To 64TB Of RAM ( https://www.reddit.com/r/BSD/comments/7hl7ts/dragonflybsd_now_supports_up_to_64tb_of_ram/ )

According to ericbsd, putting that in the loader.conf is obsolete

Holy shit it takes forever for a Junos SRX to reboot.

I love how issues can get even weirder

you can write a daemon in/for go language and then you must call it god daemon

Nah, just god-$service

No idea about mysql/mariadb, but I've set up postgresql10-server in a jail that seems to stop responding if I connect from the host, but is fine when I connect from another PC. Might be a tunable option in pf.conf(5)

thanks, maybe related
