Working Xorg configuration for documentation edge case

FreeBSD Version: 13.2-RELEASE
Xorg Version: 7.7_3
Nvidia Driver: 470.161.03
Documentation Page: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/



The issue with the documentation applies when the user has two graphics car=
ds
installed and one is a Nvidia graphics card. For example, if a user has a
desktop computer having a motherboard with onboard video and installs a Nvi=
dia
card- this will result in the documentation being inaccurate. The xorg log
complains that it cannot tell which of the graphics cards is the primary on=
e,
even with the busid added as indicated on the documentation page, and X fai=
ls
to start stating (EE) No screems found. I got this working with the attached
xorg configuration.=20
