hi,
What msg did you get after you tried to attach the
kernel driver?
The more interesting question is, why the nvidia
driver wasn't chosen
in the first place.
You mean a simple modload? I get this:
tob...@antigone:~# modload nvidia
can't load module: No such file or directory
tob...@antigone:~# modload glx
can't load module: No such file or directory
No, not a simple modload. When I say "attach", then I mean something
like add_drv or update_drv.
Also, what you tried above looks wrong, because for modload to work
you must always specify a path to the object you want to load into
kernel space, it doesn't look in a default search path if it can find
something with that name.
[Posting as best I can to both xwin-discuss and opensolaris-discuss with
subsequent
information]
I don't know why the GeForce 9600 GSO device alias (pci10de,625) is not
added at driver install. This should work with the 177.80 driver in
2008.11.
Since you have your own xorg.conf, I recommend you try to undo as much
as possible:
# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.sav
# update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,625"' nvidia
# reboot
Also: Verify if smf-rbac/nvidia_vendor_select worked.
How can I check this? I can't find anything about that.
$ ls -al /lib/opengl/ogl_selectnvidia_vendor_select
total 22
drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 4 Feb 2 03:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root bin 3 Jan 29 17:19 ..

As a user or role with enough authorization go there, run them with
"ksh93 -x ./nvidia_vendor_select" and look if something goes wrong. In
that case, post the output.
Not getting the GLX module loaded is not fatal to the X server and
won't produce a white screen so I wouldn't spend much time experimenting
with the ogl-select SMF service until you first get the X server running
with the accelerated driver.
See the other nvidia related problem which another user wrote about
yesterday, msg. includes response:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/2009-March/003233.html
This problem is not specific to the nvidia driver and appears to be specific
to any AGP cards installed in the W1100z/W2100z with the X.Org 1.5.
Since this card is PCI-E and 2008.11 doesn't use X.Org 1.5, this won't apply
here.
