Hello all,
I was working on getting FreeBSD to work on my laptop which has Optimus (Intel Kaby Lake GPU and Nvidia GTX1060) and currently have the Intel GPU working well enough using the freebsd-base-graphics CURRENT branch on Github, however I would like to get my Nvidia GPU working (without it, I cannot use external monitors, that's the biggest reason I have for getting it to work, although better GPU performance would be nice, too).
It looks like there's a new port bug request at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192617 but it's been about 3 years now, so I'm not sure it's going anywhere.
Is there currently a way of getting the Nvidia GPU working on FreeBSD? If not, I might be willing to try and get my hands dirty, but I don't really know what I'm doing at this point.
Thanks!
Mylan
