Nvidia 580.95.05 was pulled from the repos.
/*from /var/run/dmesg.boot: */ Here you see a clean boot up of
the NVIDIA DRM function.

All Versions of the Proprietary NVIDIA Driver needs the "
LINUX" " LINUX64" kernel drivers. to RUN.
Linux.ko is NOT nedded to install the Driver Packages , but
IS needed to execute .
*/ to be added to /boot/loader.conf /*
hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1
/* to be added to /etc/rc.conf */
linux_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
kld_list="nvidia-drm"
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 astro/google-Earth was
using the GPU using linux-nvidia-libs.
the astro/Google-Earth package is a good test
that the system is using the GPU as intended.
If I have Fumbled the setup and not installed the
LINUX parts properly, the Google-Earth app really struggles
and the FANS in the machine
revs up to top speed as the CPU max out. With
linux emulation installed and the linux nvidia_libraries installed
the GPU does the work.
