--Sig_/XuT/FohKRPCCcFoyCl0o_zE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Running FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #5 r271728: Thu Sep 18 01:18:25 CEST 2014 amd6= 4 on a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E540 laptop with built-in nVidida GT 740M GPU (NV208M) doesn'= t bring up X11 even with most recent nVidia BLOB 343.13. The system has been installed from a most recent FBSD CURRENT USB drive ima= ge and uses UEFI and newcons/vt(). IN UEFI Firmware, the primary GPU selected is the nV= idia GT 740M in favour of the Intel iGPU HD4600 of the Haswell CPU. While the system works well with console only after UEFI boot, I can not st= art X11 having driver "nvidia" enabled, the portion in xorg.conf reflecting this is as fol= lows: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" VendorName "nVidia" BoardName "GT740M" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection When starting X, the screen goes blank and black with a stuck mousepointer = showing up and a green (colour defined in my console) carret showing in the left hand uppe= r corner of the screen - and nothing happens anymore. Using driver "nv" from the regular xorg installation from the ports (having= set=20 WITH_NEW_XORG=3D YES WITH_KMS=3D YES WITH_GALLIUM=3D YES in /etc/make.conf) fails with the error, that the driver doesn't recognises= the GPU type. The only working solution is the very slow and unusable x11-drivers/xf86-vi= deo-scfb unaccelerated software framebuffer. I'd like to use the accelerated nVidia GPU with the BLOB as I do on all oth= er FreeBSD boxes I use (systems still without UEFI and graphical vt()). What am I doing wrong here? Has someone successfully bootet FBSD CURRENT via EUFI and nVidia accelerate= d GPU via nVidia's BLOB?
