Thanks for replying, Mario.
In that file, I do not have any "FreeBSD-kmods" section. I have
"FreeBSD-ports", "FreeBSD-ports-kmods", and "FreeBSD-base" (disabled).
So, the way you're suggesting is already what I'm doing.
Is that file not correct?
Thanks again,
Graham

Hello.
can you try this method :
Before to start upgrading packages,locate /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf and be
sure that :
FreeBSD-kmods: {
url:
"pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_${VERSION_MINOR}
<https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_${VERSION_MINOR}>",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: no
}
is disabled. Then upgrade them and when finished,try to re-enable it.

Hello all,

When I install the driver, it also installs the kernel module. But
they
aren't the same version. When I try to run Xorg, it spits out an
error
because of this.
Any clues, please.
Thanks in advance,

# pkg install nvidia-driver
