[OpenIndiana-discuss] nvidia glitch

[Francois Dion]

Version: OI 151a
hardware: sony vaio vgn-z series (core 2 duo P9600, not sandy bridge i5)

So I am trying to boot OI and get an X desktop with compiz on my
laptop. When in stamina mode, it boots up ok using the intel
integrated graphics and screen is detected as 1600x900, but in speed
mode which selects the nvidia card, it just brings up a blank screen.

Xorg.0.log then shows, as far as nv is concerned:

The URL in the message doesn't go anywhere...

It appears that the display is not recognized by the nvidia driver. am
i using the right driver anyway with a stock OI install or do I need
to download something else from nvidia?

THanks,
