I just finished updating which included the 'gettext' bump. Now, I am
experiencing a problem with the "nvidia-driver-195.36.15".
None of the 'opengl' screen savers worked. Examining the Xorg log
showed an error message that the nvidia opengl module was not loading.
I therefore did an R&R on the port. I rebooted the system and then
attempted to start KDE. I was greeted with this error message:
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or
directory ).
(EE) Jun 06 05:58:12 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel
module. Please see the (EE) Jun 06 05:58:12 NVIDIA(0): system's
kernel log for additional error messages and (EE) Jun 06 05:58:12
NVIDIA(0): consult the NVIDIA README for details. (EE) NVIDIA(0):

Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional

=46rom the /boot/loader.conf file:
nvidia_load=3D"YES" # nVidia video driver
I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a similar phenomena or
had a suggestion on how to rectify this problem?
