Hi!

I was unaware that the NVIDIA drivers were relying on DRM drivers. Sorry 
for the breakage.

Here is the change in the DRM drivers that was committed to both version 
6.1 and version 6.6:
https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/pull/368/files

Do you see anything wrong with this patch?

I don’t have any NVIDIA GPU to test. I guess you could look at dmesg(8) 
to see more messages from the kernel, if any.

You could also take snapshots of sysctls with the previous working 
version and with the new version, and see if some values have changed. 
I’m thinking of the last part of the patch mentioned above.
