Hello!

Yes, pkg update a few minutes before.

SunOS fuji 5.11 illumos-beed421eff i86pc i386 i86pc

CTRL-ALT-F1 goes to blank screen,
CTRL-ALT-F7 _not_back to X

Integrated intel graphics - X is running on an Nvidia NVS 295 with OI 
standard driver version 340.

nvidia kernel module is there,
but i am missing the modulge nvidia_modeset

OK.
# pkg uninstall -v driver/graphics/nvidia mate_install 
x11/server/xorg/driver/xorg-video
reboot
Display is on intel (viewed by iRMC). CTRL-ALT-F1 displays weird pixeling
after "svcadm disable lightdm" via xterm the "console" showed up, but 
not VT2, VT3.. etc.
services sonsole-login are "online"

OK install nvidia 340.108 from nvidia solaris archive, (as described in 
"https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Nvidia+Graphics"), reboot.

CTRL-ALT-F1 gives a blank screen on nvidia output, and no console on intel.
The module nvidia_modeset is not here. This module only part of later 
versions, but these later versions don't support my card "quadro NVS 295".

BTW, i don't need the console on this hardware, but i like to give some 
testing time to solve things..

Greetings,
Stephan
