Dear Adam, 
The /boot/loader.conf file contains

The /etc/rc.conf contains

I don not know if there is any discrepancy between the nvidia setting in the two files. I guessed not.

Dear all!
When I start Xorg on a laptop with FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE it falls back with the message "No devices detected".


What are the content's of your /boot/loader.conf?

Put this in /boot/loader.conf:
nvidia-modeset_load="YES"
Remove nvidia related entries from /etc/rc.conf
You may need linux_load="YES" in loader as well if applicable.
Reboot after entries are made.

I have 
linux_load="YES" 

nvidia-modeset_load="YES"

in /boot/loader.conf
and I deleted the line kld_list="nvidia-modeset" from /etc/rc.conf, i.e. no nvidia specific settings are in /etc/rc.conf now. However, xorg still generates the error message "No devices found".
I have checked the information on such errors generated by xorg in /usr/local/share/doc/NVIDIA_ GLX-1.0/README  but I could not find anything.

Are you on a laptop or desktop?
I have a laptop with integrated graphics and dedicated GPU in my bios if I disable discrete graphics I get the behavior that you're talking about.
If you are on a laptop check the motherboard bios settings.
Yes, I have a Lenovo 320S-13IKB laptop. Actually, nor the touchpad neither the wireless network card works with FreeBSD. I hoped I can use the NVIDIA graphics card at least. So you mean I should find some settings in BIOS for discrete graphics and enable it? 

   
Yes, please check your bios and enable the "discrete" graphics, not the hybrid;

The touchpad should be able to get fixed although mine doesn't work well either, it's something that I plan to look into getting fixed but there are more pressing issues at the moment.
I am not sure what wifi chipset you have but something really new might not work.Find out the wifi card and post that here as well.
@Adrian Chadd is the wireless guru for FreeBSD, he might be able to chime in for that.
I went into the BIOS Setup Utility and checked the Configuration options. Although some older Lenovo laptops had an option Display/Graphics Device there, it is completely missing from the list of  the Configuration options of my laptop. I guess it is not an option any more. 

The wifi card would not work anyway since the laptop has a Qualcomm Atheros 9377 802.11ac wifi adapter which is not supported by FreeBSD according to the dev/ath_al(4)/Hardware Support list. I can still survive with an TP-LINK wifi adapter USB stick, thus it will be OK. 
The touchpad will be more problematic though. I guess I will open a new thread about it in mailing list "freebsd-drivers". :-)
