Smplayer behaves the same as blender. I think this is a general behavior.
Check below what happens when I run it within the linuxulator :

root@marietto:/mnt/zroot2/zroot2 # chroot /compat/ubuntulunar /bin/bash

root@marietto:/# smplayer

QStandardPaths: error creating runtime directory '/var/run/user/1001' (No
such file or directory)
This is SMPlayer v. 22.7.0 (revision 10091) running on Linux
libGL error: glx: failed to create dri2 screen
*libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau*

These libGL errors are from Mesa libGL, which is trying to use the <br>
userspace part of nouveau (which is part of the Mesa project), <br>
presumably based on Nvidia GPU&#39;s PCI ID being known to Mesa, despite <br>
there being no nouveau kernel interface available.<br>
<br>
Since you are trying to use Nvidia&#39;s binary driver (the only one which <br>
works on FreeBSD), Blender should have never loaded Mesa&#39;s libGL in the <br>
first place - there is most likely a configuration problem here with <br>
libglvnd, the component responsible for choosing the correct libGL <br>
implementation.<br>
<br>
When Blender fails to detect CUDA this has nothing to do with libGL and <br>
absolutely nothing to do with nouveau - have you found any other CUDA <br>
program to work in linux compat?<br>
