Can you figure out a method to do what I want to do ? If we are able to
"connect" the nVidia driver to the CG / graphic tool instead of the nouveau
one,a lot of cool features will be unfrozen. For example we could try to
run Unreal Engine 5 within the linuxulator,Davinci Resolve,Maya 3d,a lot of
cool stuff will use the nvidia driver and it will work great.

These libGL errors are from Mesa libGL, which is trying to use the <br>
userspace part of nouveau (which is part of the Mesa project), <br>
presumably based on Nvidia GPU&#39;s PCI ID being known to Mesa, despite <br>
there being no nouveau kernel interface available.<br>
<br>
Since you are trying to use Nvidia&#39;s binary driver (the only one which <br>
works on FreeBSD), Blender should have never loaded Mesa&#39;s libGL in the <br>
first place - there is most likely a configuration problem here with <br>
libglvnd, the component responsible for choosing the correct libGL <br>
implementation.<br>
<br>
When Blender fails to detect CUDA this has nothing to do with libGL and <br>
absolutely nothing to do with nouveau - have you found any other CUDA <br>
program to work in linux compat?<br>
