To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel
module, by running

	# kldload nvidia-modeset

on the command line, or by putting ``nvidia-modeset'' on the ``kld_list''
variable in /etc/rc.conf, either manually or by running

	# sysrc kld_list+=nvidia-modeset

If you build this port with FreeBSD AGP GART driver, make sure you have
agp.ko kernel module installed and loaded, since nvidia.ko will depend
on it, or have your kernel compiled with "device agp".  Otherwise, the
NVidia kernel module will not load.  Also, please set correct value for
``Option "NvAGP"'' in ``Device'' section of your X11 configuration file.

When building with Linux compatibility support, make sure that linux.ko
module is available as well (or have it compiled in kernel).  It can be
loaded via /boot/loader.conf, or later in the boot process if you add

	linux_enable="YES"

to your /etc/rc.conf.

If X.org cannot start and reports

	(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to obtain a shared memory identifier.

in /var/log/Xorg.0.log while actually you have ``options SYSVSHM''
enabled in kernel, the sysctl ``kern.ipc.shmall'' should be increased.

Because in certain 570 versions GSP firmware is known to cause issues
with suspend/resume, thus, disabled by default for now.
On the other hand, some GPUs are known NOT to work without GSP
firmware support.
To enable GSP firmware add hw.nvidia.registry.EnableGpuFirmware=1
to your loader.conf.

x11/nvidia-driver: Split kmod into x11/nvidia-kmod

Split out kmod part of x11/nvidia-driver into x11/nvidia-kmod,
including slave ports, to allow FreeBSD-kmods repo builders building
nvidia-related kmod ports.

In this update,

* split out *.ko from x11/nvidia-driver[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel]
  into corresponding x11/nvidia-kmod[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel],

* switch dependency of graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod upon
  x11/nvidia-driver[-devel] to newly introduced
  x11/nvidia-kmod[-devel],

* make x11/nvidia-driver[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel] depend upon
  newly introduced x11/nvidia-kmod[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel],

* bump consumers directly depending upon x11/nvidia-driver*
  as of dependency switches,

* and hook x11/nvidia-kmod[-304|-340|-390|470|-devel] to build.

Note that upgrading x11/nvidia-driver* from monolithic version
requires deinstallation of x11/nvidia-driver* before starting,
as both previous version of x11/nvidia-driver* and newly introduced
x11/nvidia-kmod* installs *.ko into same place.
