However, the nvidia card on this system is ratherold and requires the nvidia-340 driver. I tried to uninstall the  nvidia-470 driver, but thisis not possible. I tried this in single user state and the command uninstalled the driverbut installed the same driver again. My question is: How can I install nvidia-340? Ideally, I prefer to completely uninstall the driver via pkg and to install the solaris package viapkgadd.

I faintly recover from memory that I had to put a 'pkg avoid ...' for
the other two versions to get that older one installed.
