As I've overlooked the existence of #FreeBSD #ports graphics/drm-latest-kmod (now at 6.9) until yesterday, there were no corresponding #nvidia ones.
Now I've filed Bug290262
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290262
and opened corresponding review D53128
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53128
to add graphics/nvidia-drm-latest-kmod and graphics/nvidia-drm-latest-kmod-devel.
Now the review is accepted and waiting for land.

Update for #nvidia #GPU #driver #ports on #FreeBSD to 580.95.05 landed as commit 7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3d.
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=7b1c88f42c7f4129bc96f405549f9e6b07bd6e3d
We were pending it as kmod pkg repo still didn't have nvidia things and bapt was looking into it, but as of this information
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5703
the commit was done without waiting for the reply from bapt.
#FreeBSD is not entitled there, but as #FreeBSD native #drivers are known to shares most source codes with corresponding Linux versions, FreeBSD can be affected, too. So users of non-legacy versions of driver ports are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
With this reason, the commit is already merged into 2025Q4, as security fix is one of the branket approval by portmgr and secteam.

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

And correlated virtual_oss codes are NOT YET MFC'ed into stable/15.
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003306.html
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.

Disclosed a script to generate script to upgrade #FreeBSD #ports that depends on old shlibs of base at brew.bsd.cafe.
https://brew.bsd.cafe/TomAoki/sh_scripts/src/branch/main/genRebuild_base_oldlib_deps
It can be used just for confirming no more ports depending on old shlibs of base. See generated script or file specified by NeedUpdate variable.

Found updated NFB (New Feature Branch) of #nvidia #GPU driver sets 575.64.03.
Filed PR for #FreeBSD #ports as Bug 287984

and opened corresponding review 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.
