The error isn't too important, so forcing it will be ok as long as you keep using the nvidia-driver as it provides its own libnvidia-wfb.so. For some reason, libwfb.so isn't installed on your system. It's provided by xorg-server. You're not the first person to report it, but I can't reproduce it here. -- Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer
