Re: [osol-discuss] [desktop] NVIDIA driver install [solved]
Thank you so much! It works great now. Before (glxgears): 78 FPS, now: 1500 FPS, even faster than on my Linux partitions! Great job. Now I've to sort out why firefox takes ages to start...30secs or so.

Hum. How to solve the prob? Thank's in advance jens57 Starting with b133, the IPS package name changed. See comment #10 of: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12196 Use the instructions in comments #5 and #6 with the new IPS package name to uninstall the bundled driver and install the legacy driver. I have IPS packages of the R173 and R96 legacy drivers but it turns out there are complications hosting these driver in a way where the bundled and two legacy driver exclude each other so that only one driver can be installed at a time. We are still trying to come up with a solution. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
