Hi Ken,
The Nvidia 8600GTS is generating to many bus errors to be used, so I
tried with the installed GT200.
I installed the NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-260.19.29.run driver as follows :-
# init s
# pkg uninstall nvidia
I had to move the NVDAgraphics sideways so that the new driver could be
installed.
The nvidia driver is removed using the above command, do we need the
entries in /var/sadm/pkg?
# cd /var/sadm/pkg
# mv NVDAgraphics _NVDAgraphics
# mv NVDAgraphicsr _NVDAgraphics
# sh -x ./NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-260.19.29.run
The driver was reported installed correctly, rebooted and the display
worked fine (using VESA).
I then ran 'nvidia-xconfig', logged out and then logged back in, display
worked.
Rebooted and selected the original boot environment with nvidia driver
installed.
The boot proceeded normally until the screen does blank prior to the
login screen appearing.
Had to Reboot, selected alternate boot environment, mounted original
boot environment
# mkdir /tmp/alt
# zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/alt rpool/ROOT/openindiana
# zfs mount rpool/ROOT/openindiana
# cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/.
# zfs umount /tmp/alt
# zfs set mountpoint=/ rpool/ROOT/openindiana

---Xorg.0.log---
I stopped the gdm and ran /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure and copied the
file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restarted gdm.
This time the graphics display did not appear, however I was presented
with a text console login.
The xorg.conf that was used is provided below
---xorg.conf---

Checking the logs the is no obvious error, suggestions for tweaking the
xorg.conf may get it working.
