Hello!

Yeah i saw this on my 4K screen too :-/


You may try to

#sudo pkg install pkg:/driver/graphics/nvidia

this includes the NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms
mybe this affects the console, too.

It may be required to install some X pkgs,
and If you don't want an X login be sure to disable lightdm service

#sudo svcadm disable lightdm
