            Bug ID: 239412
           Summary: x11/nvidia-drive (390.87_3) incorrectly describes how
                    to add kmod to loader.conf
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

In an old PR (https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212279) it was
stated that the documentation for x11/nvidia-driver (both the older version and
the current one given in the summary line) incorrectly state to *ONLY* add the
enable line for nvidia-modeset to loader.conf when in fact plane nvidia also
needs to be loaded.

I.e. the following will not load correctly:

...
nvidia-modeset_load="YES"
...

but: 

...
nvidia_load="YES"
nvidia-modeset_load="YES"
...

will load correctly.

For reference here is my complete loader.conf:

vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot/ROOT/default"
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
zfs_load="YES"
zpool_cache_load="YES"
zpool_cache_type="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
zpool_cache_name="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
linux_enable="YES"
nvidia_load="YES"
nvidia-modeset_load="YES"
kern.cam.da.default_timeout="5"
autofs_load="YES"

And my uname -a:
