This change seems unintended, it should be reversed:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
- Driver "nvidia-modeset"
+ Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
I don't have active Nvidia graphics atm, but given the Nvidia
documentation and the list of files contained in the package
/x11/nvidia-driver, there is no 'nvidia-modeset_drv.so':
[1-0] # pkg info -ql nvidia-driver | grep '_drv\.so'
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
This file indicates using "nvidia" in a Device section.
