(In reply to Alexander Ziaee from comment #29)
It would be the limitation for non-default variants that
graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod{-devel} doesn't automatically detect and select.

When dedicated kmod repo and its builders are made available, splitting out
kmod parts from x11/nvidia-driver{-304|-340|-390|-470} into corresponding
counterpart was requested (at the moment, not decided whether
x11/nvidia-driver{-304|-340|-390|-470} to be kmod part or remaining parts was
not specified).

On kmod builders, as far as I've heared until now, kmod ports are disallowed to
depend on anything large like x11-servers/xorg-server. So we've investigated
how it can be achieved for NVIDIA driver things, and finally decided to split
out kmod parts into x11/nvidia-kmod* ports.

But unfortunately, graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod{-devel}
requires x11/nvidia-driver{-devel} to actually run for X11 and/or Wayland.
Here, graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod{-devel} is disallowed to
depend upon x11/nvidia-driver{-devel} as of the limitation, as
x11/nvidia-driver{-devel} depends on excessive X11 parts for kmod builders.

So we need to make graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod{-devel} metaport to depend on
x11/nvidia-driver{-devel} and chosen one of
graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod{-devel}, while each of
graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod{-devel} depends on
x11/nvidia-kmod{-devel}. (Now we have -580 legacy variant supporting DRM/KMS.)

This causes users of non-default one of
graphics/nvidia-drm-{510|515|61|66|latest}-kmod{-580|-devel} to be forced to
manually install corresponding x11/nvidia-driver{-580|-devel}.

This could be fixed once kmod builders become almost equivalent with normal
ports builders that reduces the limitation to allow merging back kmod parts
into library parts, but as far as I could hear, there seems to be no plan.
