If it's shipped with your version of the driver, you should use it. It specifies the MODULE_DEPENDS on nvidia.ko so the latter would be loaded automatically. The `nvidia-modeset.ko' was introduced in driver version 358.09 to program = the display engine of the GPU (changing resolutions, transformation settings, display device hot-plugging, etc.) and works in conjunction with the `nvidia.ko' kernel module. At the time of the writing, only the latest vers= ion of the driver shipped this module, most users would still go the good old kld_list=3D"nvidia" way. We simply forgot to flip the switch as the time had passed. I'll update the port's pkg-message to make it less confusing (technically it correctly explains the situation, but suggests kld_list=3D"nvidia" as the default, while it should be kld_list=3D"nvidia-m= odeset" these days). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
