Thanks for your report.
Which NVIDIA GPU do you have?
It is helpful to see the output of pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 vga and fwget -nq | grep gpu


 This   was  my  older  test deploy  desktop  with  the  PASCAL  Nvidia  Quadro P2000

vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0:     class=0x030000 rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10de device=0x1c30 subvendor=0x10de subdevice=0x11b3
    vendor     = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
    device     = 'GP106GL [Quadro P2000]'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA



What NVIDIA driver version did you selected in the in the radiolist dialog?

        Nvidia  580.95.05    was  pulled  from  the  repos. 

from  /var/run/dmesg.boot:        Here  you  see a  clean boot  up    of  the  NVIDIA   DRM   function.

Obviously, I will add these configurations to the script.
I just need to figure out which GPUs and drivers require them.


    All  Versions   of the   Proprietary NVIDIA  Driver  needs  the   " LINUX"  " LINUX64"   kernel drivers.  to  RUN.
   Linux.ko  is NOT  nedded  to  install  the  Driver Packages  , but IS  needed  to execute . 

              to be  added    to  /boot/loader.conf 

hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1

              to be  added  to  /etc/rc.conf 

  linux_enable="YES"

 dbus_enable="YES"         

 kld_list="nvidia-drm" 

         

 ALSO:


                 Script  did not install  emulators/linux-base-rl9     package
                 Script  did  not   enter  the   linsysfs   and the   linprocfs   in  /etc/fstab.
                  Script  did not  install  Nvidia  packages: x11/nvidia-xconfig , x11/nvidia-settings  x11/linux-nvidia-libs  , graphics/nvidia-texture-tools

             After  adding  all  of the  above  I  had  a  fully functioning   KDE/NVIDIA/Xorg    setup   and  astro/google-Earth  was using   the  GPU using linux-nvidia-libs. 
             the  astro/Google-Earth     package  is  a  good   test   that  the  system  is  using  the  GPU  as  intended.  
             If  I  have  Fumbled   the  setup  and not installed   the   LINUX  parts properly,    the  Google-Earth  app  really  struggles   and  the  FANS  in  the  machine 
              revs up  to  top speed as the  CPU  max out.    With  linux emulation  installed and  the linux nvidia_libraries  installed  the  GPU  does  the  work.
