Re: Nvidia_load not working
If you're booting via UEFI, it should be because r305779 (MFC of r305484) is not yet MFS'ed (causing insufficient memory to load nvidia.ko). See below for detail. https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-11/2016-September/000503.html If so, while waiting for MFS, you can load it via rc.conf by adding nvidia-modeset.ko (or nvidia.ko depending on which version you're installing) on kldlist= line, or directly writing kldload command in rc.conf, or rebuild loader.efi with the patch obtained below applied. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/stable/11/sys/boot/efi/loader/copy.c?r1=302408&r2=305779&view=patch don't forget to give -p2 option to patch command line. If you're booting via legacy BIOS mode, sorry, I have no idea. :-( On Sun, 18 Sep 2016 18:58:38 -0700 Charles Cowart wrote: > I did a clean install of RC3 over RC2, and I noticed that nvidia_load="yes" > no longer appears to work in /boot/loader.conf.

Re: Nvidia_load not working
I suspect loader.efi issue rather than that you mentioned. https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-11/2016-September/000503.html nvidia.ko is loaded as a dependency of nvidia-modeset.ko, so if nvidia.ko failed to load, nvidia-modeset.ko should fail as well.

As the nvidia kernel module is part of a port/package, I suspect that this is more of a "ports" issue than a "stable" issue; in particular, if the version of the nvidia-driver you're using is sufficiently recent, you may find a recent ports/UPDATING entry relevant: 20160829: AFFECTS: users of x11/nvidia-driver AUTHOR: c...@freebsd.org The NVidia driver has been updated to version 367.35. Starting with version 358.09, new kernel module was added, nvidia-modeset.ko. This new driver component works in conjunction with the nvidia.ko kernel module to program the display engine of the GPU. Users that experience hangs when starting X11 server, or observe (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes: (II) NVIDIA(0): "NULL" messages in their /var/log/Xorg.0.log file should replace ``nvidia'' with ``nvidia-modeset'' in /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf files, depending on how they prefer to load NVidia driver kernel module.
