[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing Newer Driver from NVIDIA Site

[Rasaki Temidire]

Hello,

I have openindiana 2017.10 installed and updated it to the latest packages and image but the NVIDIA driver version is 340.106 and every time I try to make an window fullscreen, it goes across both screens.  I have an NVIDIA GTX 590.  I can't find a way through the nvidia-settings program to get it to just make fullscreen windows appear on one of the screens.  

This problem doesn't exist with the version of the NVIDIA driver in FreeBSD 11.  So I downloaded the latest short branch version 387.34 directly from the NVIDIA Solaris x64/x86 archive.  When I installed it, it complained about a requirement for SUNWgnomelibs but it installed anyhow.  After I rebooted the system, I noticed that Xorg was still loading the old 340.106 version from the original oi install.  Can someone tell me how I can force it to load the new driver?  I think the system is using the driver embedded in the kernel.  

Is there already an advanced version of the NVIDIA 387.34 or newer prepackaged in some repository for oi?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
