[OpenIndiana-discuss] geforce 6600 troubles

[Till Wegmüller]

The only thing I can think of is pkgrecv ing the solaris driver from the 
Solaris 10 install and using that as compat solution.


The errors shown are just lightdm complaining we are using consolekit 
and not systemd. Which we wont use so it will keep complaining.

Your 6600 card seems a bit picky. Can you check X.org logs and see what 
it reports? Also please check /var/adm/messages for kernel related 
things. Or boot with verbose mode set to on (you can find that in the 
bootloader under menu 5 advanced options)

Hope this helps to narrow it down
