Hi everyone, Nvidia drivers for FreeBSD now only comes with OpenGL ICD (GLX and EGL), without Vulkan supports. I have created a thread on the FreeBSD/Solaris board related to Vulkan ICD supports on FreeBSD and/or Solaris. Also there is an existing thread asking for the support of Vulkan on FreeBSD. If anyone also wants Vulkan support we might reply to these threads. 1. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/a-modest-plea-to-add-vulkan-to-the-freebsd-graphics-driver/107149 2. https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/a-modest-plea-to-add-vulkan-to-the-freebsd-graphics-driver/107149 Without native ICD we currently rely on https://github.com/shkhln/nvshim which seems potentially unsafe to use, though it works usually. Thus I created a thread on their forum to ask for such support. I have no idea what actually misses in order to support Vulkan on FreeBSD, despite nvshim works for some of the applications I tested such as vkcube. Ka Ho
