I thought that pkg-message shows what's in > pkg-descr, not files/pkg-message.in. And I forgot about the UPDATING file. Yes, it's `pkg info --pkg-message nvidia-driver` (or pkg info -D nvidia-driver). But the pkg-message change is maybe too subtle, and could be more attention grabbing. Sorry for the breakage. ================================8<================================ To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel module, by doing # kldload nvidia (or nvidia-modeset, see below) or adding nvidia_load="YES" (or nvidia-modeset_load="YES", see below) ... Starting with version 358.09, some important functionality of the driver has been broken out into a separate kernel module, nvidia-modeset.ko. Users that experience hangs when starting X11 server, or observe (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes: (II) NVIDIA(0): "NULL" in /var/log/Xorg.0.log should replace ``nvidia'' with ``nvidia-modeset'' in their /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf configuration files, depending on how they prefer to load NVidia driver kernel module. ================================8<================================ Best, Conrad
