Hi, I had to comment out this exact line to get my system to boot successfully. I actually have "Pro-level NVIDIA=C2=AE Quadro=C2=AE P500 graphics" on my P= 52S Thinkpad. Not sure if 12.1 has native support for this, or do I need to download/build this. Per the discussions on this topic, I think I should stay away from pkg ..drm-kmod Thank you On Wed, Nov 27, 2019 at 11:24 PM Daniele Mazzotti <kappei84@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I don't know if that is relevant, but in my rc.conf I have > > kld_list=3D"/boot/modules/i915kms.ko" > > This was added specifically for my Intel graphic card.
