I just upgraded my server from 14.3 to 15.0. It went mostly
successfully, but I can't get my NVIDIA video working.

Hello.

can you try this method :

Before to start upgrading packages,locate /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf and be sure that :

FreeBSD-kmods: {
url: "pkg+https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/kmods_latest_${VERSION_MINOR}",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: "fingerprints",
fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
enabled: no
}

is disabled. Then upgrade them and when finished,try to re-enable it.

Hello all,

When I install the driver, it also installs the kernel module. But they aren't the same version. When I try to run Xorg, it spits out an error because of this.

Any clues, please.

Thanks in advance,
Graham
