HI 

  Looking at  the last week  updated   "desktop"    script. 

     It  also  needs  :


echo linux_enable=\"YES\" >> /etc/rc.conf   

 for  the Nvidia  propietary  driver  to  start  at  the  next  reboot.

Thanks for your report.
Which NVIDIA GPU do you have?
It is helpful to see the output of pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 vga and fwget -nq | grep gpu


 This   was  my  older  test deploy  desktop  with  the  PASCAL  Nvidia  Quadro P2000

vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0:     class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de device=0x1c30 subvendor=0x10de subdevice=0x11b3
    vendor     = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
    device     = 'GP106GL [Quadro P2000]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA



What NVIDIA driver version did you selected in the in the radiolist dialog?

        Nvidia  580.95.05    was  pulled  from  the  repos. 

from  /var/run/dmesg.boot:        Here  you  see a  clean boot  up    of  the  NVIDIA   DRM   function. 

Nvidia0: <Quadro P2000> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
nvidia-modeset: Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms  580.95.05  Tue Sep 23 09:31:22 UTC 2025
[drm] [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Loading driver
sysctl_add_oid: can't re-use a leaf (hw.dri.debug)!
[drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20160202 for nvidia0 on minor 0




Obviously, I will add these configurations to the script.
I just need to figure out which GPUs and drivers require them.


    All  Versions   of the   Proprietary NVIDIA  Driver  needs  the   " LINUX"  " LINUX64"   kernel drivers.  to  RUN.
   Linux.ko  is NOT  nedded  to  install  the  Driver Packages  , but IS  needed  to execute . 

              to be  added    to  /boot/loader.conf 

hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1

              to be  added  to  /etc/rc.conf 

  linux_enable="YES"

 dbus_enable="YES"         

 kld_list="nvidia-drm" 

         

 ALSO:


                 Script  did not install  emulators/linux-base-rl9     package
                 Script  did  not   enter  the   linsysfs   and the   linprocfs   in  /etc/fstab.
                  Script  did not  install  Nvidia  packages: x11/nvidia-xconfig , x11/nvidia-settings  x11/linux-nvidia-libs  , graphics/nvidia-texture-tools

             After  adding  all  of the  above  I  had  a  fully functioning   KDE/NVIDIA/Xorg    setup   and  astro/google-Earth  was using   the  GPU using linux-nvidia-libs. 
             the  astro/Google-Earth     package  is  a  good   test   that  the  system  is  using  the  GPU  as  intended.  
             If  I  have  Fumbled   the  setup  and not installed   the   LINUX  parts properly,    the  Google-Earth  app  really  struggles   and  the  FANS  in  the  machine 
              revs up  to  top speed as the  CPU  max out.    With  linux emulation  installed and  the linux nvidia_libraries  installed  the  GPU  does  the  work.
