There is no '*glxserver_nvidia*' file in the Solaris driver distribution
https://us.download.nvidia.com/solaris/515.76/NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-515.76.run
so I'm not sure why they expect such file (module) to exist.  Maybe this
is a bug in their package?  Either they forgot to add the module into
the package, or they mistakenly require it when they shouldn't?  Maybe
you could try to contact NVIDIA.
