HI

           I   test  installed  KDE  desktop installer  two weeks ago  
on  top  of  a  FreeBSD 15-p1      base.
                specifically  using  the   KDE NVIDIA  Xorg combo ,   (  
wayland  dont seem  to  be  included   in  the  KDE desktop installer  
script. )

                after  running  the  script  Nvidia  driver  did not  
start.

                 To start the proprietary  NVIDIA  Driver  linux 
emulation  needs  to  be  active.

                     script  needs  to   do

                    # kldload linux linux64

                      to run   the  driver  immediately .


                    Script  did not  install

                   Linux_enable="YES"   ,
                    Dbus_enable="YES"

                 in  /etc/rc.conf.       to   enable  the  the driver  
to  work  after  reboot.

                  ALSO:


                  Script  did not install  emulators/linux-base-rl9     
package
                  Script  did  not   enter  the   linsysfs   and the   
linprocfs   in  /etc/fstab.
                   Script  did not  install  Nvidia  packages: 
x11/nvidia-xconfig , x11/nvidia-settings  x11/linux-nvidia-libs  , 
graphics/nvidia-texture-tools

              After  adding  all  of the  above  I  had  a  fully 
functioning   KDE/NVIDIA/Xorg    setup   and  google-Earth  was using  
  the  GPU using linux-nvidia-libs.





    Regards

                   //Lars
