If you are following the Xorg configuration manual, ignore what the manual says about running Xorg -configure.

Não execute o Xorg -configure

If you've already followed the manual and created an xorg.conf, be sure to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf before proceeding:

rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Installing nvidia drivers:

1 - Install x11/nvidia-driver

pkg install nvidia-driver

For some older cards, you need to use x11/nvidia-driver-340 or x11/nvidia-driver-304.

Check the NVIDIA download page to see which driver version you need. Note that there is no need (and even counterproductive) to download the driver from this page.

2 - Execute

sysrc kld_list+="nvidia-modeset"

To add an entry to /etc/rc.conf to load kernel modules on boot.

nvidia-modeset is only available for driver versions >= 358,009, if you use an older version, use sysrc kld_list+="nvidia".

3 - Reboot with shutdown -r now or load the required kernel modules now with kldload nvidia-modeset or kldload nvidia

4 - Create the directory:

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

5 - Use your text editor in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf with the script below:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "NVIDIA Card"
        VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
        Driver "nvidia"
EndSection

6 - Reboot

Enjoy
