Using November's 180.06 driver after removing NVDAgraphics does not work. There's a version mismatch error with the GLX components, but this is probably a false positive and is rather to do with it simply not supporting my PCI ID. Might still work for others, though it's really an issue specific to Indiana right now since the NVIDIA drivers are typically targeted solely at Solaris 10 and not OpenSolaris in the first place.
