--Sig_/B6QkEIf5oqug.T8bKvEs2Hf Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable nVidia's BLOB from port x11/nvidia-driver seems to have problems in FreeBSD= 11.0-CURRENT #2 r271869: Fri Sep 19 13:28:03 CEST 2014 amd64, on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E5= 40 laptop with CPU i5-4200M (Haswell) with integrated HD4600 Intel iGPU and dedicated nVid= ia GT 740M (Optimus) working correctly. The systems boots FreeBSD off via UEFI. First of all: I tried versions 340.24, 340.32 and Beta 343.13 all with the = very same results. Symptoms: a) Loading kernel module "nvidia" via /boot/load.conf freezes the system af= ter the UEFI/EFI loader message shows up. Loading the kernel module vi kld_load=3D in /etc/rc.conf[.local] works so far regarding loading and booting the kern= el. b) No display socket is recognized by the nvidia driver resulting in a blan= k vt() screen after X has been started. I tried many different configurations, but at the= end I suspect that nVidia's "Optimus" technology may be the culprit. The documentation of nVidia's driver for FreeBSD states that after the Xser= ver has started it logs in Xorg.0.log (or whatever display number is used) the avai= lable display sockets like (taken from the documents): (--) NVIDIA(0): Valid display device(s) on Quadro 6000 at PCI:10:0:0 (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0 (--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-1 (--) NVIDIA(0): DELL U2410 (DFP-0) (connected) (--) NVIDIA(0): NEC LCD1980SXi (DFP-1) (connected) Nothing that similar shows up in my environment, but this: [...] [ 58.656] (--) PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:0416:17aa:502a rev 6, Mem @ 0xf100000= 0/4194304, 0xe0000000/268435456, I/O @ 0x00006000/64, BIOS @ 0x????????/65536 [ 58.659] (--) PCI: (0:1:0:0) 10de:1292:17aa:502a rev 161, Mem @ 0xf0000= 000/16777216, 0xc0000000/268435456, 0xd0000000/33554432, I/O @ 0x00005000/128 [ 58.662] (II) "extmod" will be loaded.

The laptop has EFI/UEFI EFI Version: 2.31 EFI Firmware: Lenovo (re. 05648) The problem is present no matter whether the drm2 and i915kms kernel moules= are loaded or not. What is wrong here? Any chance to get the nVidia GPU to work? I use at the = moment xf86-video-scfb which is a pain in the ass and absolutely not usable, even = with a faster CPU. Under average load the whole laptop screen is like a slide show. Please CC me. Thanks in advance, O.
