Hello all
i just installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 after
using the 2008.5 version,and i had noticed
even though it has Nvidia built in,not only dont i
get the splash screen it also seems slower.
i had not seen my card being suported on this version
but i had seen it on the previous version.
if i issue the command nvidia-xconfig and reboot i get a white screen.,Then i have to hit enter till i can see a prompt and i type clear so i can see a black screen to type in my name and pass then xorgconfig to be able to get
a working screen again..
i had removed the driver
code:
pfexec pkg uninstall NVDAgraphics,
and replaced it from the nvidia for a solaris version
site and even added in the lines i was supose to use
code:
sh Nvidia-example-file run
it placed a copy of xorg.conf.nvidia in my /etc/X11 folder
to play with as an example file and even that did not work for me if i cp xorg.conf.nvidia xorg.conf
i added load"glx" in the module section
and change vesa or nv to nvidia
and still i get a white screen on boot up
What version driver do you reccomend i use on OpenSolairis 2008.11 the newest one
And which instruction would work best for me
Also i read that some chipsets are affected are on this list here

from here
