I have an older GeForce GTS 450. For years after every OS upgrade I have unpacked the latest tar file from NVIDIA that contains the driver supporting my graphics card, built and installed and keep on going. Now, once I upgraded to 12.1 the default compiler is clang, not gcc. And not surprisingly the rebuild of the driver is failing. A couple of questions: First, should I stay with the code from Nvidia or go with the Nvidia support in the X11 packages? Secondly, has anyone successfully built the Nvidia FreeBSD x86_64 390.116 driver on FreeBSD 12.1? With clang or gcc? Just trying to make my life easier :-) Patrick
