Blank Screen unresponsive mouse cursor - Nvidia - FreeBSD 13.1

I

ig0xb

Hello,

I am new to FreeBSD, I am have installed FreeBSD 13.1 on my MSI GL63RX laptop which has Nvidia 1050Ti maxQ graphics card. From the handbook I was able to setup wifi and install nvidia 470.86, drm-kmod, slim and xfce using pkg install. I have also made sure there are no config files in /etc/X11 folder and I have added driver-nvidia.conf in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, the file has root:wheel permission.
I have added user to video,wheel,operator. when the system boots it logs in the tty1 and startx does not start. when I log in using regular user which has .xinitrc file and run command startx it has blank screen with unresponsive cursor. And on the tty where startx command was run has the information as attached in the image (its says startx is already running?)

I have attached Xorg.0.log(when it starts), xorg.0.log.new(when startx command is run), driver-nvidia.conf, kldstat,loader.conf, rc.conf, os-release,pciconf -lv | grep -B3 display, dmesg and .xinitrc

Kindly help me fix this issue.

Remove drm-kmod, that's for Intel and ATI/AMD video cards. You don't need it for the NVidia driver.

loader.conf:
Code: 
firmware_load="YES"
if_iwm_load="YES"
kern.vty=vt
#nvidia_load="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
set hint.acpi.0.disabled="YES"
Remove everything except if_iwm_load.

rc.conf:
Code: 
moused_enable="YES"

hald_enable="YES"

iwm9560fw_load="YES"
if_iwm_load="YES"

wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
synchronous_dhclients="YES"
sound_load="YES"
snd_hda_load="YES"
#linux_enable="YES"
if_rtwn_pci_load="YES"
if_rtwn_usb_load="YES"
Remove all these.

kld_list="linux linux64 i915kms nvidia-modeset", remove all of it except nvidia-modeset.

As advised removed the above mentioned lines and rebooted the system. Still the same issue
 
Your card is being detected:
Code: 
[  2502.351] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (GP107-A) at PCI:1:0:0
So that's good. It doesn't seem to detect anything attached to it though:
Code: 
[  2502.351] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to get display device for DPI computation.

Does this laptop perhaps use Optimus?

Tried removing slim from rc.conf and restarting still the same issue.
1050-Ti Max Q is not part of this list not sure how else to check?

Attached is the latest dmesg after removing everything apart from nvidia-modeset in kld_list.Screen looks different.

Welcome to FreeBSD Forums.
#hald_enable="YES"

Remove it. Removal will make no difference to the problem, but the line will never be useful. HAL died more than a year ago.

2001 is a distant memory. HAL is retired. : freebsd

Please, where exactly did you learn to enable hald? The addresses of the pages, please. Knowing where you learnt outdated information might help to tell what's wrong now.

Please share output from the following command:

pkg prime-origins | sort
