@freezr Currently, NVIDIA-related kmods are NOT built on kmod repo except x11/nvidia-kmod, and waiting for admins of kmod builders to look into why. So building x11/nvidia-kmod* and graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod* that you have locally is recommended. Don't forget to make /usr/src (at least, /usr/src/sys) to be 100% in sync with your running kernel at least you're using graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod*. This is because it depends on LinuxKPI and KBI of LinuxKPI are fragile unlike other parts. OTOH, x11/nvidia-kmod* are relatively robust on kernel updates. It was before I've started maintaining it, but at a minor version upgrades (forgot which it was), I've once forgot to rebuild x11/nvidia-driver (at the moment, x11/nvidia-kmod* weren't yet splitted out from it), but xorg started as if I've NOT forgotton to rebuild it.

Thanks, I thought the problem could be related with Xlibre instead.
