Not sure if it will be the same for you, but for me, adding this line to the /boot/loader.conf fixed the nvidia issue:
hw.vga.textmode=1

Re: Booting freshly installed GhostBSD 11.1 Fails on ASUS Vi

Not sure if I understand the situation, however I will give you my experience and maybe it is the same thing. Some bios do not like FreeBSD on a bootable USB drive/stick. I had the FreeBSD install on a stick and it hung my bios before the bios was done its stuff. I plugged it in after Windows starte...

Re: Suspend/resume

I guess what I said isn't fully correct. Suspend worked when I installed FreeBSD 12 even though it didn't off of the boot disk.

Re: Cofiguring with ZFS on older systems

Ahh, true. I guess I was reading the January post and it didn't really say not use it, just no commitment to using it. Now I remember my issue. It was that ZFS was only supported on a whole disk(which for me it didn't matter if GPT was used in that case). Will the next release allow ZFS on a partiti...

Re: Cofiguring with ZFS on older systems

Both of those are good news, the FreeBSD and the MBR. Also glad to hear about not using the the TrueOS tools or openrc. Looks pretty promising. I was impressed with your system until you dumped 32 bit. So looks like I'll go for FreeBSD there, but I'll try your stuff for 64 bit. Also happy to see the...

Re: Suspend/resume

A really easy test is just to boot up a FreeBSD install disc and go to the prompt and type zzz. Quickly tests if sleep works with your hardware for that version. 11.1 works for me on all my computers, and 12 on none. OpenBSD apparently has fairly good support and seems to work for most systems. Wind...

Re: Cofiguring with ZFS on older systems

Is it the plan to stay with that for next version? Because if it is, that is a show stopper and there is really no use trying GhostBSD at all. Other systems require MBR, and even TrueOS installs and works fine in MBR. I was going to maybe see if GhostBSD had something to offer as you mentioned you w...
