Bugzilla Automation <[email protected]> has asked freebsd-x11 (Nobody) <[email protected]> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 291232: x11/nvidia-kmod: On recent CURRENT black screen, problem rebooting https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291232 --- Description --- On recent CURRENT (FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #14 master-n282165-718acd74657f: Wed Nov 26 08:26:23 CET 2025 amd64) with a recent nvidia 5060Ti GPU, port x11/nvidia-kmod (nvidia-kmod-580.105.08.1600004) fails to present xdm/GUI. The x11/nvidia-kmod, x11/nvidia-driver ports are recompiled every time world/kernel is build. xdm is setup via /etc/ttys (ttyv9 "/usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm onifexists insecure). Since a couple of days for now, it seems that with recent nvidia kernel module loaded, a reboot (either reboot or shutdown -r now) takes a long time until an error occurs ("... some processes would not die, ... adviced"). It is not possible to interrupt or watch which process rejects to perish, but I guess it is xdm. Without nvidia kernel module loaded, FreeBSD behaves in most cases as expected and performs a clean reboot or even working without GUI is possible so far. I use a custom kernel! Custom kernel worked before, I guess, commit 9562994a7aacee2baae6ddee1a7b558b48ae39ef - this commit is a marker to me, I rebuilt kernel yesterday before this commit has been made and it worked so far even with GUI. After that commit, I had to follow now vanished UPDATING remarks about setting some sysctl flags (see my PR 291212 on that).
