On this laptop, I used to have GLX available when I was running FreeBSD stable/12 (and earlier) with x11/nvidia-driver-390; now that I am running stable/14 with x11/nvidia-driver-390 and graphics/drm-61-kmod, /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports: [ 32.515] (II) Initializing extension GLX [ 32.515] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) and GLX is no longer available (as far as I can tell). The laptop (Dell Precision M4800) is not especially new & shiny; its graphics cards are: vgapci1@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x0416 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x05cc vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller' class = display subclass = VGA and vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de device=0x11fc subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x15cc vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation' device = 'GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M]' class = display subclass = VGA The latter is why I'm using x11/nvidia-driver-390 (vs. x11/nvidia-driver). As of this writing, it is running: FreeBSD g1-70.catwhisker.org 14.0-STABLE FreeBSD 14.0-STABLE #94 stable/14-n267105-38fdb37047ea: Tue Apr 2 10:43:14 UTC 2024 root@g1-70.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/CANARY amd64 1400510 1400510 with all installed ports updated as of the ports tree at main-n658672-87cd12f206ab. I am tracking stable/14 daily, and updating installed ports daily. Running "pkg check -andB" only shows the usual whines about clang/llvm versions allegedly missing libraries. Running "pkg_libchk" (from ports-mgmt/bsdadminscripts2) indicates that installed packages/ports are installed OK. (A somewhat newer laptop that I use for out-of-town travel, and keep similarly current, but is able to use x11/nvidia-driver appears to support GLX OK.) Is it likely that the above description is accurate, and that I'm stuck with it (as long as I'm using this laptop)? Is it plausible that I've merely managed to misconfigure some thing(s)? If so, how might I determine & fix that? (I am happy to provide additional information, given a clue.) Any other suggestions (other than "migrate to a newer laptop" -- I'm aware of that one)? Thanks!
