[Ben Woods suggested in a separate response to load nvidia-modeset]
I went down a long long path, which I hope to make more traveled. Short
answer is:
1) poudriere bulk -c on upgrade is your friend (people told me this, I
should listen to them).
2) Chop down old xorg.conf with lots of stuff linux has not needed for
a while to $ cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Card"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
3) add nvidia-modeset to kld_list in /etc/rc.conf
Upshot is now with x11/nvidia-driver benchmarks/glmark2 works fine,
and no complaints from clients.
So Ben, yeah, amongst the other two issues, you helped with that clue.
David, you gave me the idea to try the other drivers (and the nvidia
docs seem to indicate that hw support migrates down) and the identical
error produced by the other drivers was a clue as well.
Many thanks,
Russell
