It was working fine under snv-112; I did liveupgrade yesterday, after that
obviously the newly installed latest NVidia driver did not work on the Quadro
FX500 card in the machine in question, so I replaced it with 173.14.18, as
expected.

It seems the driver will have to be recompiled to enable latest Nevada versions
to make use of legacy NVidia cards.
I will post the same message on OpenSolaris message boards as well.
I was able to get the system to work with the nv driver after uninstalling
NVDAgraphics[r] packages and running
svccfg -s application/opengl/ogl-select setprop options/vendor = mesa
svcadm restart application/opengl/ogl-select
On an unrelated to NVidia issue I am having problem with this nv driver - the
mouse is constantly jumping to the top left corner; the previous snv-112
environment still works fine, so it is not a hardware problem.
