The problem is DRMisms go all the way down the X stack and thus the need to get rid of them all (yes you could track down ever last one of them and delete only those packages but their is over a hundred to look through and if you miss one it gets really screwed up). Case in point I decided to try DRM a while back on the machine that has the gt510 on it because someone claimed nVidia now worked with DRM (it doesn't!!) and had all kinds of problems until I did the steps I recommended when it came to reinstalling nVidia-driver. > Just remove anything nvidia then install: > nvidia-driver-390 > nvidia-xconfig-440 > nvidia-settings-440 > > make sure: > nvidia-modeset_load="YES" > is in loader.conf > and: > linux_enable="YES" > is in rc.conf. > > reboot (or do the kldload commands but rebooting makes sure you > got it right.) and run: > > nvidia-xconfig > > Start X. it should come up on both monitors.
