[Bug 286005] x11/nvidia-driver: update to 570 switches monitor off

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286005

--- Comment #8 from Joachim Moskalewski <tonne03@jmos.net> ---
I followed up on a few more thoughts, and so I came across this:
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86_64/570.133.07/README/gsp.html


I explicitly set GSP to "true" for the 570 driver (as "unset" isn't a clear
definition), and a "sysctl hw.nvidia.gpus.0" differs from the 550 (without GSP)
in these two, new lines:


  hw.nvidia.gpus.0.firmware: 
  hw.nvidia.gpus.0.vbios: ??.??.??.??.??


The first line should show me the drivers version (instead of being blank); So
something is definitely going wrong here in Nvidias GSP code, which does not
load correctly (and the vbios "??.??.??.??.??" is probably due to this). Also
the command "nvidia-smi -q" leads to a crash / reboot in this scenario…

(As setting "hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=0" doesn't help (checked
again) tells me, that this might disable the GSP stuff from being active, but
not of being ignored completely while loading the driver.)
