Hi,

I'm also having trouble with the nvidia driver. I installed Solaris 11 11/11
in a Sun Ultra 20. Everything went fine until installing the desktop.
Afterwards, I get kernel panics (and crash dumps) when using the supplied
nividia driver. However, the "nv" driver doesn't cause panics.  Unfortunately,
the desktop won't run ok with the nv driver because it doesn't support the glx
extension.

I downloaded the driver from nvidia but cannot install it. The driver
is "packed" with the old format of packages and the installation script
gets confused. 

Any suggestion?

Cheers,

Blai
