My laptop is configured with all displays hard-wired to the Intel, so my Nvidia is a headless device, but I do have headless Xorg running on it with working GL. Perhaps this same configuration would be able to output an image to external monitor on your system? This would be a separate Xorg instance, but if you do not intend to use both displays simultaneously this might be acceptable. I haven't tried connecting to both devices from one Xorg and I have no idea how GLX would be expected to function in this situation. As root kldload linux64 pkg install nvidia-driver ./nvidia_installfix.sh kldload nvidia-modeset Xorg :1 -config nvidia_xorg.conf As user env DISPLAY=:1 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/nvidia glxinfo -B The install script and Xorg conf were working for me in the past, but now something seems to be wrong between the latest freebsd-base-graphics (or with my build thereof) and the binary nvidia-driver which prevents me from loading it: KLD nvidia-modeset.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch linker_load_file: /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko - unsupported file type Kernel is 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #27 bc5430c5451(drm-next) If it is indeed "version mismatch" rather than missing components then it is very likely bogus. I am not sure where it has checked this, since it now refuses to work with an older kernel that I know it to have previously worked with. It may be looking in /usr/src, which I left checked out to the latest version.
