After a bit of relection on the issues (catalyzed, in part, by the
realization that merely reverting the OS back to
stable/12-n233561-42cb78bdd49 did not produce a "working system"), I
noticed that the other laptop has a slightly different video controller:
Failing:
g1-55(12.2-S)[1] pciconf -lv | grep -B 2 Quadro
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x05cc1028 chip=0x11fc10de rev=0xa1
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M]'
Working:
g1-48(12.2-S)[8] pciconf -lv | grep -B 2 Quadro
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x17b01028 chip=0x13b610de rev=0xa2
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GM107GLM [Quadro M1200 Mobile]'
So, on a hunch, I tried replacing x11/nvidia-driver (which had
recently been updated) with x11/nvidia-driver-390.
And that allowed X11 to work.
I plan to follow up in -ports@, Cc:ing folks involved in that update.
Peace,
david
