The above error is usually caused by /dev/nvidia0 not pointing to a valid hardware instance. Since I haven't yet decided to bundle the 190.53 driver, I assume you installed this driver from the NVIDIA download page. Did you do this after moving a card from one slot to another? What do these commands show: $ ls -lt /dev/fbs $ pfexec /usr/X11/bin/scanpci
