Check if you disabled the Intel GPU and if still interferes with the Nvidia GPU when you enable the graphic override switch. You can create a xorg.conf file and have X use that with 'nvidia' driver specified if its autodetect gets confused. Check your log file for X for those errors.<br><br>As mentioned, most of the OI_devs (and others) have oi_151a or variants running on Intel Atoms and Icore i5/i7-based laptops/servers/workstations (i.e. where applicable). Since the OS is installed on your laptop, is
it just a 3D graphic issue and getting the jmge ethernet driver compiled and installed? You said you can run twm, so I<br>take it you may want to do something 3D-oriented as well.<br></span></div><div id="yiv1957616461yui_3_2_0_21_1335524408976218"><br>jmge driver: <font face="Liberation Serif, serif"><span lang="en-US"><font face="Thorndale, serif"><span lang="en-US">http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/jmge-2.6.3.tar.gz<br>nvidia driver (OI-IPS): </span></font></span></font><a title="Package Information Summary" href="http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/info/0/driver%2Fgraphics%2Fnvidia%400.295.33%2C5.11-0.151.1.3%3A20120329T221541Z">driver/graphics/nvidia@0.295.33,5.11-0.151.1.3:20120329T221541Z</a><br><font face="Liberation Serif, serif"><span lang="en-US"><font face="Thorndale, serif"><span lang="en-US"><br></span></font></span></font>~ Ken Mays<br><br><span id="yiv1957616461yui_3_2_0_21_133552440897679"></span></div><div
