Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NVIDIA driver update
Hello, Ref: ftp://download.nvidia.com/solaris/270.41.19/NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-270.41.19.run Yes, the plan is to update OI IPS with the Nvidia 270.41.19 package for the official oi_151 release as posted on the OI wiki. I've manually tested both 270.41.19 and 275.09 (beta). . Please file a bug report accordingly at http://bugs.openindiana.org. ~ Ken Mays From: Andrey N.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Nvidia Driver update
Hi Ken, The Nvidia 8600GTS is generating to many bus errors to be used, so I tried with the installed GT200. I installed the NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-260.19.29.run driver as follows :- # init s # pkg uninstall nvidia I had to move the NVDAgraphics sideways so that the new driver could be installed. The nvidia driver is removed using the above command, do we need the entries in /var/sadm/pkg? # cd /var/sadm/pkg # mv NVDAgraphics _NVDAgraphics # mv NVDAgraphicsr _NVDAgraphics # sh -x ./NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-260.19.29.run The driver was reported installed correctly, rebooted and the display worked fine (using VESA). I then ran 'nvidia-xconfig', logged out and then logged back in, display worked. Rebooted and selected the original boot environment with nvidia driver installed. The boot proceeded normally until the screen does blank prior to the login screen appearing. Had to Reboot, selected alternate boot environment, mounted original boot environment # mkdir /tmp/alt # zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/alt rpool/ROOT/openindiana # zfs mount rpool/ROOT/openindiana # cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/. # zfs umount /tmp/alt # zfs set mountpoint=/ rpool/ROOT/openindiana ---Xorg.0.log--- X.Org X Server 1.7.7 Release Date: 2010-05-04 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: SunOS 5.11 i86pc Current Operating System: SunOS ts 5.11 oi_147 i86pc Build Date: 06 September 2010 07:48:44PM Solaris ABI: 64-bit Current version of pixman: 0.18.4 Before reporting problems, check http://openindiana.org/consolidation/xnv to make sure that you have the latest version.
