I just noticed this method of removing the NVIDIA graphics driver will
also remove some OpenGL symlinks. I'm tracking this problem under:
6683853 removing NVIDIA graphics packages in failsafe mode can delete
OpenGL symlinks
The symptom are OpenGL programs may no longer work correctly and the
GLX module fails to load:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in
your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX
module. If
(EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
If you have already removed the NVIDIA package in failsafe mode, you
will need
to perform the following repair:
# pkgrm SUNWxorg-mesa
# cd /media/SOL_11_X86/Solaris_11/Product
// or the network location of the Solaris install bits
# pkgadd -d . SUNWxorg-mesa
# init 6
I will try to get this fixed in b87.
