I appear to be having some issues with the Nvidia driver after an update to
2009.06.
Machine is an Ultra 24, was working fine (with Twinview etc.) on 2008.11. I
have two Nvidia cards fitted, and normally use both display ports on the
primary card. FX3700 in PCI-E2, which is configured in the BIOS as the
'graphics card', and an FX370 which is in PCI-E0.
Updated to 2009.06, and I'm finding that the Nvidia driver will appear to load,
but doesn't appear to be binding properly, this stopping X from firing up
correctly.
I've tried a 'reboot -- -r' and also running devfsadm, still no joy. Everything
seems to recognise the two cards, but the driver appears to fail to bind.
Pretty frustrating :-/
Here's the Nvidia instances from /etc/path_to_inst:
---------------------------------------------------------------
-bash-3.2$ cat /etc/path_to_inst | grep nvidia
"/pci at 0,0/pci8086,29e9 at 6/display at 0" 0 "nvidia"
"/pci at 0,0/pci8086,29e1 at 1/display at 0" 1 "nvidia"
---------------------------------------------------------------
If I'm reading the modinfo output right, it only appears to have loaded one
driver instance? That doesn't seem right when there are two cards fitted?

First time I've used prtdiag under OpenSolaris, and it's given me this output:

That doesn't look right to me? And shouldn't it give me the slot speed and card
type, like under Solaris on SPARC? Or is this limited output an x86 thing?
Just in case there was something screwy in the Xorg.conf file, I deleted it and
rebuilt it using nvidia-xconfig, which gave me this:

Totally stuffed, can't use 2009.06 on the Ultra 24 - anyone have any ideas?
