If you completely want to throw away snv_92, that is simple - boot with snv_86 - pfexec /usr/sbin/beadm list - pfexec /usr/sbin/beadm destroy -f <point to the snv_92 which would be in your case - opensolaris-2>
now, how about trying to configure your own xorg.conf is not that hard.. this is what I did - at the time of boot up, edit the opensolaris-2 grub entry (i think , you need to press 'e' to get into here) and add '-s' parameter so that the the following line looks like .. kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -s -B $ZFS_BOOTFS now, system would boot up without x windows.. now, you can run /usr/X11R6/bin/xorgconfig and walk through the screens ... i simply chose default and pressed '<enter>' for stuffs that I really didn't understand/care. at the end of this, the xorg.conf is generated under /etc/X11/ now, you can simply do init 3 and see if GUI looks better hope this helps sriram Gilles Gravier wrote: > Hi! > > So... nv is not an option as display is fuzzy beyond the point of > readability on Tecra M2. > > I downloaded the NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA's web site... and now the > machine hangs at boot probing for drivers.
