on ``kld_list'' variable in /etc/rc.conf as well (for later loading) - Make s/nvidia/nvidia-modeset/ replacement suggestion more accurate because ``.ko'' suffix is omitted in syntax for both of those files - Improve UPDATING wording for corresponding 20160829 entry accordingly

To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel
|
|
module, by doing
|
|
|
|
# kldload nvidia (or nvidia-modeset, see below)
|
|
|
|
or adding
|
|
|
|
nvidia_load="YES" (or nvidia-modeset_load="YES", see below)
|
|
|
|
to /boot/loader.conf, or putting ``nvidia'' (or ``nvidia-modeset'', see
|
|
below again) on ``kld_list'' variable in /etc/rc.conf.
|
|
|
|
If you build this port with FreeBSD AGP GART driver, make sure you have
|
|
agp.ko kernel module installed and loaded, since nvidia.ko will depend
|
|
on it, or have your kernel compiled with "device agp". Otherwise, the
|
|
NVidia kernel module will not load. Also, please set correct value for
|
|
``Option "NvAGP"'' in ``Device'' section of your X11 configuration file.
|
|
|
|
When building with Linux compatibility support, make sure that linux.ko
|
|
module is available as well (or have it compiled in kernel). It can be
|
|
loaded via /boot/loader.conf, or later in the boot process if you add
|
|
|
|
linux_enable="YES"
|
|
|
|
to your /etc/rc.conf.
|
|
|
|
If X.org cannot start and reports
|
|
|
|
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier.
|
|
|
|
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log while actually you have ``options SYSVSHM''
|
|
enabled in kernel, the sysctl ``kern.ipc.shmall'' should be increased.
|
|
|
|
Starting with version 358.09, some important functionality of the driver
|
|
has been broken out into a separate kernel module, nvidia-modeset.ko.
|
|
Users that experience hangs when starting X11 server, or observe
|
|
|
|
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes:
|
|
(II) NVIDIA(0): "NULL"
|
|
|
|
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log should replace ``nvidia'' with ``nvidia-modeset''
|
|
in their /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf configuration files, depending
|
|
on how they prefer to load NVidia driver kernel module.
