I mention this here as there was nothing I noticed in /usr/ports/UPDATING or /usr/src/UPDATING to make me aware of what would need rebuilding or to expect it. If I missed something that I should have seen then I apologise for the noise. stable + xorg + hw.vga.textmode=1 + nvidia-driver-390 requires rebuilding more than kernel, world, and a poudriere run across the nvidia driver port. Not sure which port(s) changed it back to working but didn't see anything in /usr/src/UPDATING, /usr/ports/UPDATING, or here to make me expect this would have happened. Moving from 13.1-STABLE 1301503 (don't know how to see git hash and not in poudriere logs) and ports tree 9d34c0bfee17 to 13.1-STABLE 1301507 dc96fb072300 and ports tree 5d303ab48075 I found that after rebuilding/reinstalling kernel+world that on reboot I could only start X if I removed hw.vga.textmode=1 from loader.conf. That continued after doing a rebuild and `pkg upgrade` of nvidia-driver-390 port under poudriere with its jail based on same -STABLE code that I built and installed from and on the same machine (122 ports rebuilt). After rebuilding+reinstalling all ports I found it was back to working as expected. When reinstalling/upgrading the final build of the ports, I had a running X session which seemed to close (crash?) but not return to the terminal that launched it; there was then no keyboard/mouse responses available on the system but it was still running as I confirmed from an ssh login on another machine. I still use hw.vga.textmode=1 as switching back to a terminal after launching X only works by closing X; screen is otherwise black with large colored blocks and no usable text on the terminal. I often have to switch across a couple different terminals before I have a working one too. As sometimes things break, I prefer to have an option to switch to a terminal to fix things even if it is just killing a process or X. Either mode still leads to plasmashell crashing when I try to switch back to the GUI if I am using KDE; that is an old issue I've never had interest to take the time to solve. Thank you for your time, Edward Sanford Sutton, III
