Working Xorg configuration for documentation edge case

FreeBSD Version: 13.2-RELEASE
Xorg Version: 7.7_3
Nvidia Driver: 470.161.03
Documentation Page: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/



The issue with the documentation applies when the user has two graphics cards
installed and one is a Nvidia graphics card. For example, if a user has a
desktop computer having a motherboard with onboard video and installs a Nvidia
card- this will result in the documentation being inaccurate. The xorg log
complains that it cannot tell which of the graphics cards is the primary one,
even with the busid added as indicated on the documentation page, and X fails
to start stating (EE) No screems found. I got this working with the attached
xorg configuration.
