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.

Run nvidia-xconfig then reboot

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.

Setting up the FreeBSD nVidia driver: docs:
- The latest versions of nVidia cards are supported by the x11/nvidia-driver port.
- nVidia cards like the GeForce 2MX/3/4 series are supported by the 96XX series of drivers, available in the x11/nvidia-driver-96xx port.
- Even older cards, like GeForce and RIVA TNT are supported by the 71XX series of drivers, available in the x11/nvidia-driver-71xx port.
Installing the nVidia driver For example, to install the latest driver:
# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
# make install clean
