Installing nvidia-drm-kmod on FreeBSD

Image
   The nvidia-drm-kmod is a brand new open-source driver which is a FreeBSD port of Linux's nvidia-drm.ko file that interfaces with DRM subsystem. While Intel and AMD GPU drivers have already official drm-kmod drivers, Nvidia is still stuck with proprietary drivers until the introduction of nvidia-drm-kmod. The main purpose for this driver is to make Wayland compositor to work correctly albeit there are some issues. You can install it into your FreeBSD system instead of readily-made non-DRM Nvidia drivers, however, it is still in testing stage so expect some hiccups. Note that you will need to install outside the ports collection to make it work properly. You can also install it from ports collection, however, it needs a similar setup like here. 1. Gathering the kernel source tree files and drm-kmod source file. i) Download the kernel source tree:             $ git clone https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/ /usr/src ...

Installing the kernel module package.       You will need these to enable your installed GPU to work with the FreeBSD 13 operating sysrtem. It can be done by 2 ways:     i) Installing the pre-built package:              $ pkg install drm-kmod     ii) Installing it from ports source:              $ cd /usr/ports/graphics-drm-kmod && make install  Note: For Nvidia GPUs, see the section "2 iii) Nvidia GPUs" below. ...
