My quick scan of the NetBSD 8 release announcement did not show that it was enabled in the default kernel - I suspect you will need to build a kernel with nouveau enabled. |
Sorry for stepping in between, but that's untrue; nouveau is enabled by default in 8.0 and support covers up to 9xx series. I run it on Nvidia NVA8 G105M, and I pen friend of mine has it running shamelessly on Nvidia Geforce 760. It supports high res framebuffer console, dual monitor, and allows gaming (tested 0ad, supertuxkart, ioquake3 and others) with good performance. HEAD's KMS/DRM driver version is currently is from Linux 4.4, so I wonder if it's support Pascal/10xx series too.
