I cannot set Nvidia graphics

Hi !

# pciconf -lv | grep -A4 display

# cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Intel Graphics"
    Driver        "modesetting"
    BusID         "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

In this last file, I changed its content to:

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "NVIDIA CARD"
    VendorName    "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Driver        "nvidia"
EndSection

I also ran the Nvidia modules:

# sysrc kld_list+=" /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko /boot/modules/nvidia.ko"
# sysrc initgfx_enable=NO

It’s a GeForce MX230 and I have not been able to set it up, I tried many ways, but it won’t let me do it.
I followed this thread → 3d acceleration nvidia driver

Check your BIOS/EFI for an option to disable the Intel IGPU, or to enable your Nvidia card.

Ok, I’ll see and then comment ! Thank you.

The only thing I have similar to Intel IGPU is:

Check Video and System configuration for Integrated Graphics or Onboard Graphics, etc.

I can’t do anything there either, the only thing I can do is change from advanced to basic.

This is for Windows installed, it seems to me … it doesn’t work on Nomad.

It says, you can’t use the Nvidia graphics card directly. It’s like a graphical co-processor.

I understand.
Thank you for your time.
I can use the intel card, the only thing is the text lag.

@mk1
:thinking:
I have to use a wifi dongle to have inet.
I can’t use the nvidia graphics card.
I don’t give a shit

I’ll keep using NomadBSD, just because I love it.
