Solved 13.1 xorg does not start

D

DrH

The system is:
AMD Ryzen 1600
Nvidia GT 630 GPU
8 GB RAM

During fresh install of 13.1-RELEASE, I added my user to the wheel and video groups.

Followed the handbook eventually wanting to install xfce on a freshly-installed 13.1 system. After install, I ran freebsd-update fetch install to make certain everything was updated. Next, I did pkg install xorg and 180-something packages were installed. So then I ran startx as user and this happened:

startx-error

The contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log file are

Xorg.0.log

Thanks so much if anyone has any idea what might be going wrong!
 
GT 630 is fairly old, try x11/nvidia-driver-390 first. Then create /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/driver-nvidia.conf:
Code: 
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Card0"
        Driver     "nvidia"
EndSection

Enable loading the module at boot: sysrc kld_list+="nvidia-modeset".
Load the module by hand ( kldload nvidia-modeset) or reboot.

Then run startx
