I'm trying to get a rather recent NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti to work with Xorg. Both the official tar.gz from NVIDIA and FreeBSD pkg and ports point to the same binary (570.124.04). They claim that the device is supported.
Installing the driver from pkg, ports or with NVIDIA's tarball produces the same result. All I get is a blank screen with a small white square on the top, xorg takes 100% of one thread, the system becomes totally irresponsive, I can't even change to another tty. Trying to unload the driver, stop Xorg, or reboot through ssh connection also hangs on forever.
Xorg.0.log seems unsuspiciously clean:
With a nvidia-driver.conf for xorg:
Nothing relevant on dmesg neither.
