Having a bit problem with Nvidia graphics installation.

I have an NVIDIA NVS 3100M, Nvidia Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] to be exact.

It needs Nvidia-340 drivers to function according to nvidia, so i installed the nvidia-driver-340-340.108.4 threw pkg and added nvidia to kld_list to my /etc/rc.conf which now looks like this...
kld_list="nvidia acpi_video"
Click to expand...

A Lightdm didn't load after reboot
 
did you enabled LightDM ? you have to add to rc.conf and i think you need to have user added to VIDEO group.
p.s. do you have any logs ?
Do you added Pcie BUS ID to your xorg file ? as you have 2 video cards...
This is how my xorg.conf file looks like.
Code: 
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "NVIDIA TITAN V JHH Special Edition"
    BusID       "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection

I might be wrong....very wrong.
 
It is solved, i just needed to switch from Nvidia Optimus to Discrete Graphics on BIOS.

Update: it is not recommanded to use nvidia, it overheated my laptop
