Good morning!
Before getting to the point, I start with the fact that I installed nomadBSD on my pc-desktop on 250 GB HDD external usb disk, since my pendrive didn’t have them at hand at that time.
Then I updated 248 packages, installed Nvidia’s proprietary drivers; nvidia-driver and nvidia-settings and other packages.
I removed plank, firefox, slim and thunderbird and installed the apps I use in the top bar of openbox. So far so good.
Now let’s get down to business!
Nvidia throws me, before starting a session with startx, a screen width window, where she tells me 2 options and I choose the first one, as you can see in the image below:
I added the parameters to kld_list=“nvidia-modeset” in /etc/rc.conf and also checked the file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf:
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identify "NVIDIA CARD
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Which I think is fine, since it had been created, I estimate when I installed the drivers.
I leave here other files that I think are relevant:

and after three restarts, I never saw that window again.
