HI
Looking at the last week updated "desktop" script.
It also needs :
echo linux_enable=\"YES\" >> /etc/rc.conf
for the Nvidia propietary driver to start at the next reboot.

Thanks for your report.
Which NVIDIA GPU do you have?
It is helpful to see the output of pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 vga and
fwget -nq | grep gpu
This was my older test deploy desktop with the PASCAL
Nvidia Quadro P2000
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de
device=0x1c30 subvendor=0x10de subdevice=0x11b3
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GP106GL [Quadro P2000]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
What NVIDIA driver version did you selected in the in the radiolist
dialog?
Nvidia 580.95.05 was pulled from the repos.
/*from /var/run/dmesg.boot: */ Here you see a clean boot up
of the NVIDIA DRM function.

Obviously, I will add these configurations to the script.
I just need to figure out which GPUs and drivers require them.
All Versions of the Proprietary NVIDIA Driver needs the "
LINUX" " LINUX64" kernel drivers. to RUN.
Linux.ko is NOT nedded to install the Driver Packages , but
IS needed to execute .
*/ to be added to /boot/loader.conf /*
hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1
/* to be added to /etc/rc.conf */
linux_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
kld_list="nvidia-drm"
ALSO:
Script did not install emulators/linux-base-rl9
package
Script did not enter the linsysfs and the
linprocfs in /etc/fstab.
Script did not install Nvidia packages:
x11/nvidia-xconfig , x11/nvidia-settings x11/linux-nvidia-libs ,
graphics/nvidia-texture-tools
After adding all of the above I had a fully
functioning KDE/NVIDIA/Xorg setup and astro/google-Earth was
using the GPU using linux-nvidia-libs.
the astro/Google-Earth package is a good test
that the system is using the GPU as intended.
If I have Fumbled the setup and not installed
the LINUX parts properly, the Google-Earth app really
struggles and the FANS in the machine
revs up to top speed as the CPU max out. With linux
emulation installed and the linux nvidia_libraries installed the
GPU does the work.
