Hi !nvidia-driver and nvidia-settings and can’t do anything either.
I couldn’t solve it from here either. ↓

Hi @judd ,
are you running it from a flash drive or did you install it on a HDD/SSD? If the latter is true:
# sysrc kld_list+=" /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko /boot/modules/nvidia.ko"
After a reboot it should work.

Good morning @mk1 !
Unfortunately it did not work.
root@NomadBSD:/home/judd # sysrc kld_list+=" /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko /boot/modules/nvidia.ko"
kld_list: cuse4bsd /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko /boot/modules/nvidia.ko -> cuse4bsd /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko /boot/modules/nvidia.ko

If the file /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf does not exist, or doesn’t contain the line Driver "nvidia", create the file with the content
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA CARD"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Then reboot.

I thought you changed that file as I wrote here

I did indeed change that file, moreover, I tried this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "GTX 1650"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
and it didn’t work either

I need to see /var/log/Xorg.0.log with Driver set to "nvidia" to see what’s wrong. Also, are the nvidia modules loaded (kldstat | grep nvidia)?

Ah, there is the problem. initgfx is enabled, and is therefore overwriting your /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf. Disable it (sysrc initgfx_enable=NO), then change the content of /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf as described here , and reboot.
