Hello Daniel and everyone.

---> If you want to pass through the video card (as evidenced by devctl and
pptdevs) then why have the nvidia driver installed?

Why did you say this ? Are you aware of some bug that prevents a pci device
from being passed if its driver is installed ?

Maybe there is. Infact I made some progress. I have commented this line on
/etc/rc.conf :

#kld_list="nvidia nvidia-modeset"

and I've been able to detach and reattach the 4 slots of the 2080 ti. I
think that if I load the nvidia modules on the rc.conf,they interfere with
a later attaching / detaching of 1 or 2 slots of the gpu (hdac and vgapci).
Do you think that it could be caused by a bug on the nvidia driver or in
the bhyve source code ? What do you suggest I do ?
