[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing Newer Driver from NVIDIA Site

[Stephan Althaus]

Hi
is anyone using different nvidia drivers than version 340.x??

i am trying to use a newer driver for my nvidia card (M2000M),
the older drivers that support my card fail because they don't support 
Xorg ABI 23,
the younger versions won't start with the errors
Nov 29 09:30:27 dell nvidia: [ID 702911 kern.notice] NOTICE: NVRM: 
failed to copy vbios to system memory.
Nov 29 09:30:27 dell nvidia: [ID 702911 kern.notice] NOTICE: NVRM: 
RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffff:654)
Nov 29 09:30:27 dell nvidia: [ID 702911 kern.notice] NOTICE: NVRM: 
nv_open: rm_init_adapter(0x00000100) failed
(all logs and system info see attachment)

..while following the instructions here:
https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Nvidia+Graphics

Tried OI from 05/2018, current OI and one GCC-NEXT, all the same..

Maybe there's some ACPI thing, or some other driver occupying the card? 
(discrete graphics on a laptop - intel gpu build in cpu)

Any hints are welcome!

Greetings,
Stephan

P.S. vesa does work, but does not recognize my external monitor..
