Hi my friend mk1,
After instructions on errata I cant startx
found it on error log:
Please post the URL the following command will output:
nomadbsd-sysinfo | nc termbin.com 9999
I’m using my cell phone and the PC keyboard has the keys misconfigured so I can’t type | , I looked at the error log and went to the file and it is without any configuration. Identifier, vendor mame, driver, could you tell me the default values that I must fill in, I’m giving up on NVidia.
Let initgfx do the job for you. Just remove /var/initgfx_config.id:
# rm /var/initgfx_config.id
If you have (or if you are not sure) disabled initgfx:
# sysrc initgfx_enable=YES
Then reboot.
That’s not a problem. Just make sure initgfx_enable=YES is set in /etc/rc.conf (See my last post). Then reboot.
It worked out right friend! Thank you again! I’m going to leave the NVidia FX3400/4400 aside for the time being so that it doesn’t get too hot and bother you.
Strong hug!
What driver did initgfx detect? See /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf
I don’t know! How can some Linux distros that don’t even come close to FreeBSD recognize this FX3400/4400 automatically and here is harding to configure, I’m having to make do with this pathetic 1024x768 resolution. My head is hot hot hot!
The reason why your Nvidia card was not detected is that it doesn’t appear in initgfx's device list. According to this site it requires driver version 334, which is not available on FreeBSD, but 340 is worth a try:
# sysrc initgfx_enable=NO
# pkg install nvidia-driver-340
# sysrc kld_list+=" /boot/modules/nvidia.ko"
Edit /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf as follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA CARD"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:64:0:0"
EndSection
Reboot
Same problem my friend! Returning initgfx YES
You could try the xf86-video-nv driver:
# sysrc initgfx_enable=NO
# pkg delete nvidia-driver-340
# sysrc kld_list-=" /boot/modules/nvidia.ko"
# pkg install xf86-video-nv
Edit /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-video-initgfx.conf as follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Quadro FX"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Reboot
Excellent! We will update the initgfx script to automatically set up the nv driver in case of Nvidia cards which do not have an official driver in the FreeBSD ports.
Nice to know my friend that my difficulty and the positive result (thanks to you) will contribute to the need of others Nomads 
Have a nice week and many thanks again for all efforts!!!
Huge Hug!
Your new friend from Rio de Janeiro!
