Solved unable to run any program in X11

[tOsYZYny]

I have a laptop with UHD graphics and an Nvidia RTX 3000. I ran 'Xorg -configure' and got a working configuration for which I moved to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and am able to startx successfully, but I cannot run any programs including the console.

I followed the steps here:

Chapter 5. The X Window System

This chapter describes how to install and configure Xorg on FreeBSD, which provides the open source X Window System used to provide a graphical environment

docs.freebsd.org

I see this on the console where I ran startx:

Xlib: extension "XINERAMA" missing on display ":0"

In the system logs, I see this:

[lspcon_init] Failed to probe lspcon
lspcon_resume] LSPCON init failed on port D

Separately interesting, after starting X11, my CPU fan or GPU fan (I don't know which, but I suspect it is the GPU fan), slows down to a reasonable level.

I figured it out from another post, I had to revert back to an older nvidia-driver, the nvidia-driver-550 was problematic for me, nvidia-driver-470 works. It was just a shot in the dark, but glad it works now.
