[OpenIndiana-discuss] removing the nvidia driver

[Apostolos Syropoulos]

Hello,

I am trying to remove the pre-installed nVIDIA driver and install
a legacy driver.I used to use the following commands

$ pfexec beadm list
$ pfexec beadm create osol-134-nvidia
$ pfexec beadm mount osol-134-nvidia /mnt
$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt uninstall -r driver/graphics/nvidia
The last command gives the following error message:

pkg uninstall: illegal option -- r
Usage:
        pkg uninstall [-nvq] [--no-be-activate] [--no-index]
            [--no-backup-be | --require-backup-be] [--backup-be-name]
            [--deny-new-be | --require-new-be] [--be-name name]
            pkg_fmri_pattern ...


When I remove the -r option I get the following error:

Creating Planpkg uninstall: Cannot remove 'pkg://openindiana.org/driver/graphics/nvidia@0.319.17,5.11-0.151.1.8.1:20130825T181904Z' due to the following packages that depend on it:
  pkg://openindiana.org/x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video@0.5.11,5.11-0.151.1.8:20130305T151745Z

My question: Can anyone suggest a way to remove the nVIDIA driver?

Greeting,

A.S.
