opensolaris 2008.11 Nvidia Geoforce FX5500 (Merry Christmas all :))
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 http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermai...er/013371.html i had so much trouble that i reverted back to 2008.5 but updating to 2008.11 from here http://opensolaris.org/os/project/in.../image-update/ hopefully my graphics will be ok Thank You
