Welcome to Icon Disti GhostBSD.png How to install Nvidia drivers.

Introduction[edit]

On this page we collect some tips from the community.

Suggestions[edit]

Frostygoth[edit]

sudo pkg install nvidia-driver-440.31

will install the latest nvidia driver from pkg

But how to apply it

on Telegram on 24.01.2020 at 21:24 -51

kldload_nvidia="nvidia-modeset nvidia

set in

/etc/rc.conf
file;

Also set the line

Driver "nvidia
in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

You need to install the driver with

pkg install nvidia-driverXXXXX.

Then once it's installed you want to make sure that you load the driver at boot by making sure that the

line

kldload_nvidia="nvidia-modeset nvidia

is present in your

/etc/rc.conf file.

You may need to add this line to

/etc/rc.conf.

You also need to make sure that your

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

file has the Driver identified as "nvidia", which may require you to replace 'nv' with 'nvidia'.

kldload_nvidia="nvidia-modeset nvidia" —> /etc/rc.conf

Driver "nvidia" —> /etc/X11/xorg.conf

kldload | grep nvidia

That'll tell you if the drivers are loaded at least

But as long as you've got the

kldload_nvidia="nvidia-modeset nvidia

line in your /etc/rc.conf then they'll load automatically after a reboot.

Attantion The entire folder of /etc/X11 on GhostBSD is empty. It might be, that this suggestion is not help. Or it has to get installed from the ports. See Additional Information.

But how to apply it

sudo nvidia-xconfig

And then reboot.

Run nvidia-xconfig then reboot

John R[edit]

on Telegram on 16.02.2020 at 04:16

First install required packages:

pkg install nvidia-xconfig

pkg install nvidia-settings

Then run as root

nvidia-xconfig

Then reboot.

This will create the needed file.

You shouldn't need to edit this.
