Latest Live Image Not Starting GUI

nicecupojoe

Hey Everyone!

I'm new and looking forward to being part of the community. Trying to install it on my PC but ran into an issue immediately. After I boot a live usb from the latest image, it fails to start xorg with the error "No Screens Found" I can provide log details if needed.
My PC specs:
CPU - AMD 9800X3D (I disabled integrated graphics in the BIOS)
GPU - Nvidia RTX 5080 (I suspect it has something to do with nvidia drivers or config)

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Sorry to be so negative but I would just enable iGPU and sell the 5080 on ebay for some serious cash. Seriously try to disable the dGPU and enable iGPU and get GhostBSD running.

Then you can take snapshot and try to navigate the hell that is Nvidia drivers on Unixes. I avoid Nvidia if possible and would not recommended Nvidia for anyone on Linux or FreeBSD. Nvidia is fine for Nintendo Switch and Windows OS.

I am going to be more positive. :-)

I would enable the AMD GPU, and remove the nVidia one to see if you can get the OS installed.

If you can get the installation to drop you to a command prompt, download some nVidia drivers for FreeBSD and do what the documentation tells you to install them. manually start xorg, look in the log files to see what xorg is trying to do, and where it is failing if this doesn't work.

Do reply if you get your installation to work.
