Solved Xorg and NVidia: cannot start X but no logged errors

CanOfBees · Aug 2, 2017

Hi all,

After a pkg upgrade earlier today, I'm unable to launch Xorg with xinit /usr/local/bin/openbox-session. I get a black screen, my monitor reports 'No Signal', and goes into power save mode. I can still ssh into the box, but I can't get a console (or I don't know how to get a console).

I've done something wrong (clearly), or missed a step somewhere in my configuration, but I'm not sure what exactly. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm on 11.0-RELEASE-p11 and have the following settings:
nvidia-driver version

Code:

> pkg info | grep nvidia-driver                                                                                                               
nvidia-driver-375.66           NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering

From /boot/loader.conf

Code:

# nvidia                                                                                                                                         
nvidia_load="YES"                                                                                                                               
nvidia-modeset_load="YES"

and kldstat | grep nvidia

Code:

> kldstat | grep nvidia

More complete specs of the box would be useful, I think. Especially the nVidia graphics card model. The black screen issue sounds a bit like the driver is trying to go into modesetting mode, but dies or hangs.

Atsuri -- thanks for the response and the reminder to be more informative

The card is an NVidia Quadro K420 (GK107). I don't remember this from my initial install, but the `subclass = VGA` seems a bit weird (probably just my bad memory).

Here is the output of dmesg -a and pciconf -lv.

Thanks a lot for the extra information

. According to this quick search engine: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/120921/en-us your card should be supported by the mainline driver. Not sure about modesetting support for Quadro workstation graphics, though. I have an older Quadro FX 1800 myself, but since it uses the 340.xx line, it doesn't have modesetting support built-in. You could try loading only the nvidia driver module in /boot/loader.conf instead of both or only the modesetting driver.

Did it work fine in previous versions of FreeBSD like 10.3-RELEASE? Since 11.1 is out, you could also try updating whether anything changes, but I feel like it's mostly down to the driver itself.

Atsuri --

Thanks (again!). Once I'm back at my desk I'll try taking

Code:

nvidia_load="YES"

out of /boot/loader.conf and see where that gets me. The card/driver was working great until I did a

Code:

pkg upgrade

yesterday. I think that you're right: it would be a good idea to go ahead and upgrade to 11.1.

I appreciate the help.

Leave nvidia_load in there. It's nvidia-modeset_load that needs to be removed. It's required for some of the newer cards but not all cards. It's difficult to look up but it's possible the Quadro cards don't need it.

SirDice -- thanks. I've almost finished upgrading to 11.1 and I've taken your advice with /boot/loader.conf.

Thanks, Atsurie and SirDice, for your time and trouble -- after some restarts I was able to get Xorg back and running. It looks like nvidia-modeset_load="YES" needs to be included in /boot/loader.conf for this particular Quadro.

Solved Xorg and NVidia: cannot start X but no logged errors
