Zenbook UM433I installing nvidia driver

Have you tried to lauch Xorg after kldload?
If yes, use again kldstat to see if the modules are still in memory.

Is there something with dmesg | grep -i nvidia ?
 
SirDice
rc.conf is correct:
kld_list="nvidia-modeset"
I had indeed a list in there, but deleted the other items at some point in time.

@Emiron
If I start X, I get the error message:
xauth: error in locking authority file /root/ .Xauthority
However, I bootet in single user mode to avoid running intro a black screen. With 'mount -u rw /' I got to the prompt and started the nvidia driver manually with kldload.

kldstat after kldload and startx shows that the driver is still loaded:
nvidia-modeset.ko
nvidia.ko


dmesg | grep -i nvidia
nvidia0: NVIDIA GeForce MX350 on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io

Don't need to boot to single user mode. I would suggest removing slim_enable for now and simply let the system boot. Login with a user account, double-check with kldstat(8) nvidia-modeset is loaded and test your X configuration with startx. When you get X to start working properly you can enable SLiM again.
 
@Emiron
Sorry, I messed something up:
1) Booting in single user mode, then 'kldload nvidia-modeset', then 'mount -u rw /', then 'startx' gives black screen
2) Booting in single user mode, then 'kldload nvidia-modeset', then 'startx' yields the error message 'xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority
That makes sense of course. Anyway, the problems persists.

As SirDice resumed correctly, the question is why does the nvidia driver not get loaded at boot (though it can be loaded manually afterwards)? And why does X give a black screen?
 
SirDice
Thanks for the advice! I disabled slim in rc.conf , booted, logged in, checked the nvidia driver being loaded with 'kldstat -m nvidia-modeset' and then tried to start X with s'tartx' - black screen...
 
Am I correct that—in multiuser mode—your screen was not black after kldload nvidia-modeset but only after startx ?

You'd probably have an Xorg log file. If you have internet, could you cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 - post the resulting url. Otherwise, like in your message #19 post/paste the log file contents?

Edit: do you have an external monitor that you can connect to your HDMI output (as I see at Zenbook 14 UM433 (4000 series Ryzen))?
 
nvidia driver is now loaded at boot! We are getting closer!

@Emiron
Yes, booting in single user mode I could successfully load the driver with kldload nvidia-modeset. The screen turned black (cursor in the upper left corner, not blinking) after I tried to start the X server with 'startx'. Following the recommendation of SirDice, I disbaled slim in rc.conf. I do not know if it is related to that, but now the nvidia driver is loaded at boot (checked with 'kldstat -m nvidia-modeset').

Thus, with the nvidia driver loaded, I logged in as a normal user and tried to star X and got of course a black screen again. However, rebooting I could have a look at the Xorg.0.log file in /var/log, which looks totally ok to me. Maybe the problem is now not the nvdiia driver itself, but getting the video stream to the screen?

Here is Xorg.0.log:

I'm not sure, but, based on your copied output, it looks like the Xorg driver cannot find the DRM device that should have been created by kldloading nividia-modeset.
The next warning says it can't find/detect any display device, such as a monitor.

It might also be that, in the case of your specific ASUS laptop, your Nvidia dGPU by default (or always) tries to send its video output to a connected external monitor (that's why I asked). However, I may not correctly interpret this log; unfortunately I don't have a functional Nvidia card on hand anymore.
 
If this can help, here is the Xorg log of a machine with a GTX 750 Ti.

The nvidia-driver comes directly from the latest repo. It wasn't compiled on this machine. The nvidia kernel modules do not seem to be sensitive to that (unlike drm-xx-kmod and others).

I would say, it looks like that no monitor is detected.
