With #BSD, you gotta love the tinkering. Luckily I do.

I just had a huge #FreeBSD breakthrough on my 2017 HP Pavilion (Intel/Nvidia) laptop.

For the longest time, I couldn't get X to work.

Well I just tried to use the Nvidia GPU instead of the Intel (which is what Linux, #NetBSD and #OpenBSD use).

The Nvidia works. I now have X in FreeBSD on a USB-connected HDD.
