Thanks very much for replying, Pete.
I finally got it working with two of your hints.
Yes, I need nvidia-modeset rather than just nvidia. And I do need the
390 version of the driver for my card.
As I suspected, the second problem was the two video cards (one on the
motherboard and on the PCI bus). Running "pciconf -lv |grep -B3 display"
gives:
vgapci0@pci0:16:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de
device=0x1243 subvendor=0x1462 subdevice=0x2315
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GF116 [GeForce GT 545]'
class = display
--
vgapci1@pci0:48:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0xc9 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1002
device=0x1638 subvendor=0x1002 subdevice=0x1636
vendor = 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]'
device = 'Cezanne'
class = display
So I added the following to
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf to force it to use the
Nvidia card:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:16:0:0"
EndSection
And it all works!
Thanks again for your help.
Graham

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hello FreeBSD-X11 people,
I've just installed 13.1-Release on an AMD-64 machine with an GeForce GT545
card. Xorg starts ok but it it doesn't seem to recognise the NVIDIA driver
and so I only get VGA resolution. I'd like some help getting the higher
resolution and acceleration from the driver, please.
After a basic FreeBSD installation, I've done:
pkg install xorg kde5 sddm nvidia-driver-390
In rc.conf, I loaded the nvidia driver and started sddm. I then rebooted.
The system comes up and starts sddm but at only 1024 x 768 resolution.
See below for the output from nvidia-debugdump, nvidia-smi, kldstat. Also,
the relevant sections from rc.conf and the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
a couple things that may be worth testing:
1. do you get the same results when loading the "nvidia-modeset" vs "nvidia"
2. what does "pciconf -lv" report the PCI id for your nvidia device as? for
example here is how it is reporting on one of my systems:
vgapci1@pci0:60:0:0: class=0x030200 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de device=0x1d34 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x22a2
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GP108GLM [Quadro P520]'
class = display
subclass = 3D
note this is one of those weird optimus hybrid GPU systems, but pciconf
should point you to the correct device.
3. do you have the same issues when using the newer 470 or 510 nvidia drivers?
I think ideally Xorg should correctly auto-detect your device so no configs
will be needed to get you working, but hopefully some of these debug steps
will help.
