You can either wait for b124 or grab the SYSV package format at:
http://home.comcast.net/~jdmartin99/NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-185.18.36-xVM.run
If you use this image, when b124 is available this image should be
uninstalled
and the IPS format reinstalled:
# pkgrm NVDAgraphicsr NVDAgraphics
# pkg install NVDAgraphics
I tried to install the package but I was getting below error,
because pkgrm failed to remove the existing packages
so I tried to remove with pkgrm without nVidia script and endup with
the same error.
pfexec ./NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-185.18.36-xVM.run
pkgrm: ERROR: unable to change current working directory to </var/
sadm/pkg/NVDAgraphics/install>
Removal of <NVDAgraphics> failed (internal error).
No changes were made to the system.
ERROR: Cannot uninstall the already installed package NVDAgraphics
So unpacked the package and used pkgadd to force the install so what
be ok.
And I also tried "pkg uninstall"
The graphics card working but I ran into strange problem with booting,
for some reason I couldn't
boot second time after the installation it didn't even show me grub
menu.
I had to use bios boot menu in explicitly select the main disk it
could be because the motherboard
or boot record is lost it's just doesn't want to boot automatically.
I had to re-install few time what strange this seems to be random some
time it happen after third or fourth reboot
and it one time happen straight after the install.
