After performing "sudo pkg image-update", which only seems to have downloaded the nvidia packages (because that's the only thing being different?), I restarted the server which boots into "openindiana-1".
And then I couldn't type into the login form at all. So I powered off the server and power it on again - I can log in, but then the desktop locks up straight away. Power cycled again, and it seems to be working at the moment (I'm typing this email on it). I googled and use the following command to check the version of nvidia driver: $ modinfo | grep -i nvidia 87 fffffffff7d14000 a44008 62 1 nvidia (nvidia %I% Jun 8 2011 17:21:57) Does that look right?
