Beware! Christos committed 9b26d309123abf0e90651298b131783ba7d9b945 on main branch of #FreeBSD #ports tree to ignore FreeBSD15 on audio/virtual_oss port and posted heads-up.

Christos states he would MFC in 1 or 2 days,
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003307.html

but it means if you upgrade ports including and after the above-mentioned commit on stable/15 including any of ALPHA snapshots before the MFCs are done, you'll lose virtual_oss functionalities.

So hold upgrades of ports/pkgs or `pkg lock audio/virtual_oss` would be wanted in the meantime.

I'm sooo proud of my first contribution to the #FreeBSD #Ports tree. Although it were only 3 characters. Although I don't understand what @dvl is apologizing for -- "I'm sorry, I did not mention this PR in the commit message."

The only things I needed was an account at bugs.freebsd.org and this short chapter from the Porters Handbook. Wish I had time for getting more involved.

For anyone struggling #X11 stopped working on #FreeBSD after upgrading main branch of #ports tree to commit 316774b85e4fc8858989a98da1a36075b6cbc8d2 and later with nvidia GPUs, reverting following commits and rebuild graphics/drm-[61|66]-kmod whichever you're using and corresponding graphics/nvidia-drm-[61|66]-kmod[-devel] you're using and reboot would help.

Found updated NFB (New Feature Branch) of #nvidia #GPU driver sets 575.64.03.

Filed PR for #FreeBSD #ports as Bug 287984
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=287984
and opened corresponding review D51144
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51144

Patch there is for "-devel" variant of ports like x11/nvidia-driver-devel.

Runnign on stable/14, amd64 until last night without new issue for me.
But as my GPU on hand is old (Quadro P1000 notebook), cannot confirm that the new version solves any of known problems on GPUs with GSP in them by myself.

Review D50697 for -devel versions of #nvidia #GPU #driver sets (latest NFB 575.64) on #FreeBSD now landed on main branch of #ports tree as commit c7cde11f842b33bb36b85b91400bec795430c421.

From now on, whichever the newer version of NFB (New Feature Branch) and Production branch is tracked on -devel branch. Beta Branch is not planned to be tracked, and just being a trigger to preparing for upcoming NFB or Production Branch.

Note that as I'm not an insider of nvidia, I cannot start investigating until nvidia releases new driver sets.

Pilot compiling with #poudriere for #FreeBSD #ports went well! It did seem a bit complicated to configure at first but sing ports made easy with #poudriere and #jail. It was so simple and straightforward to actually run #poudriere that I secretly thought it took out all the fun of seeing scrolling screens of compling! #BSD #Unix #UseBSD #RunBSD #FOSS

Now after successfully building and loading drm-61-kmod for #FreeBSD using #ports, I am building the #xorg mininal port. Thanks all fedi friends for your help. #BSD #Unix #RunBSD #UseBSD #FOSS

Updates for x11/nvidia-driver and friends to 570.153.02 on #FreeBSD landed on main (aka latest) branch of #ports tree.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=15ed54d9570321827b86cf4be93a755b19b55d86

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=3a23a3ead881929fb33d2af6a851e62227d7296d
althogh no significant updates are listed after previous updates to them.
This is done to narrow down time window when any problem happenes in the future. Maybe the same would be done for future Production Branches.

Updates to latest Production Branch 570.144 for x11/nvidia-driver, x11/linux-nvidia-libs and graphics/nvidia-drm-*-kmod ports landed at commit 9b6b1bf17269ed32eb0ec415bedad5fba7ebab2e on main (aka latest) of #FreeBSD #ports collection.

Note that starting from this version, supports for intermediate versions of some libraries in x11/linux-nvidia-libs are dropped. Versions of slave ports like x11/linux-nvidia-libs-390 are still supported for the latest version of them.

See discussions in review D49982 "x11/nvidia-driver, x11/linux-nvidia-libs, graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod: Update to 570.144" for details.
